Enormous thanks to Sue for raising awareness on @GMB about #ICD on #Dopamineagonists. This is a VERY common side effect & causes gambling, impulse spending, overeating & hypersexuality.

Unbelievable news! NICE cks guidelines were amended (with ZERO press announcement) in February 25 to relegate #DopamineAgonists in treatment of #RLS. The guidelines now have gabapentinoids as 1st line. Copy attached.

RLS-UK has commissioned a new film on living with #RLS for International RLS Day on 23 September. Hopefully, the medical profession will listen to our request for education.

A brilliant article on #dopamineagonists. These dangerous drugs are no longer prescribed by experts because of the very high risk of drug induced worsening (augmentation) and Impulse Control Disorders.

Adrian Wilson issues a salutary warning about #DopamineAgonists & UK doctors' lack of knowledge about RLS and correct treatment. NHS & NICE guidance are outdated & do not reflect best practice & treatment. https://t.co/rc8iSxyxdr

We have prepared a survey on RLS for all UK patients. Please complete & forward to any #RLS groups you belong to.

If you augmented on #Ropinirole or #Pramipexole, do NOT switch to #Neupro patch. You WILL suffer augmentation again. Ask for a different category of meds.#DopamineAgonists should only be used in end of life scenarios according to the top experts.

A new survey on the invisible issues of neurological diseases. Please complete.

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

The most common posts on our busy #HelpForum are about doctors & neurologists routinely overprescribing #DopamineAgonists even when the patient is clearly suffering #Augmentation and/or #ImpulseControlDisorder. Please visit our website for information.

This week on radio across the UK we talk to @RLS_UK about #restlesslegs syndrome (RLS) https://t.co/7Vw7sc7Q7p

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

An excellent article on #DopamineAgonists. These drugs have now been downgraded to NOT RECOMMENDED.

Why, oh, why didn't Channel 5 ask someone from RLS-UK to speak about #RLS. GPs aren't taught anything about it, as is clear from Dr Amos' response.

[RLS-UK (Charity) @RestlessLegsUK]

@clojoc Yes, 30% of MS patients have #RLS & many have clonus & fasculations. If #RLS were taught at medical school & during GP training, diagnosis would improve.

A new study shows the global prevalenceof #RLS is estimated to be 7.12%, equating to 356.07 million people worldwide.

Channel 5 talked about #RLS on the news. Worryingly, the GP stated it is very difficult to diagnose & treat. That's why RLS-UK is campaigning to get RLS taught properly at medical school & during GP & neurological training.

Your regular reminder that if you are taking #Ropinirole, #Pramipexole or #Neupro patch for #RLS- please do NOT increase the dose & watch for signs of #Augmentation.

A new study on genes that may be responsible for #RLS. Hopefully, they'll fund further research to develop tailored treatments.
