In Reply to: Who is the very best to treat RLS and depression? posted by jane hollestelle on July 29, 1997 at 14:52:24:

: Hello! On behalf of a very desperate friend with Restless Legs Syndrome and resistant depression, I'm looking for the absolute best team or center in the world for her situation. She is fortunate in having a lot of financial resources, and extremely unfortunate, so far, in treatment. Please help.

Thank you,

Jane Hollestelle

PS She has had a sleep study planned at Johns Hopkins, but they are currently debating whether they want to go ahead because they wonder if they can help her--she really has tried a lot of solutions. If JH turns her down I really don't know what she'll do. Her family and friends are desperate for alternatives. Thanks.

Dear Jane,

Hello, We have a movement Disorder specialist here at the Cleveland Clinic named Dr. Stanley Burns. He is an expert on all movement disorders

including Restless Leg syndrome. You may want to give him a try. Good Luck to you and your friend!
