Sadky there is still a long way to go to update clinicians about the latest guidance https://t.co/T8ONv6aTp1

@DrSarahJarvis I just listened to the programme. I attach links to @NICEComms guidance & NHS new website relegating ALL #DopamineAgonists to 'last resort'.

Its good to see updated NHS information about RLS. More to do but a step in the right direction.

The ignorance about #RLS is concerning. A poster on our HelpForum has been on Levodopa AND 4mg Ropinirole for years & his #RLS is extremely severe. His doctors don't understand why! Drug-induced worsening #Augmentation has been known about since the 70s.

23rd September is international #RLS day. To help raise awareness, ask RLS-UK for information leaflets & leave them in your local GP surgery/hospital.

Your regular reminder that #Rotigitone ( #NeuproPatch) causes drug-induced worsening (augmentation) of #RLS at ANY dose. Many UK doctors erroneously believe it does not. Here's a top world expert explaining why previous studies on #Rotigotine are flawed.

@thesleepgeek Yes. Asking the right questions can narrow down the reasons for frequent wakening.

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

@thesleepgeek Many people with #RLS & #PLMD are unable to describe their symptoms. All they know is that they have disturbed sleep & have to get up. So, GPs asking the right questions can help enormously.

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

An excellent article on #RLS treatment by Drs Berkowski, Koo & Buchfuhrer on #RLS treatment. It refers to the latest #AASM guidance.

@RestlessLegsUK @DailyMail @NICEComms I was sent that article, written by @Dr_Ellie . #DopamineAgonists are no longer recommended by the @AASMorg , @NICEComms and #AustralianGPs.The NHS has also confirmed it is updating its RLS information to remove all dopamine agonists due to VERY high rates of #Augmentation.

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

A recent article by a GP in @DailyMail on #RLS gave oudated & incorrect advice. Please see @NICEComms cks guidance & our website for up to date treatment information. #DopamineAgonists are no longer recommended.
