Any way to get in touch with a researcher?

I have some ideas about RLS I’d like to run by a researcher. I truly believe they could change RLS forever.

Anyone know how I could contact one? I am purposely being vague for personal reasons, but I really think I could help society if I could speak with a professional who could publish my findings. Thanks!

Potassium publication - 45 days relieved all participants

Did anyone try this dosing method of potassium citrate? Stumbled on the publication randomly, but the results are wild.

https://medcraveonline.com/PPIJ/use-of-potassium-citrate-in-restless-leg-syndrome-rls.html

Quote from publication:

On 0-day 52 patients (76.4%) shown moderate RLS and the rest 16 patients (23.5%) shown severe level of RLS.

After 15days 37 patients (54.4%) shown no RLS (“0” mark), 20 patients (29.4%) shown mild and the rest 11 patients (16.1%) presented with moderate RLS.

At the end of one month 37+20=57 patients (83.8%) shown no RLS and the rest 11(16.1%) shown mild level of RLS.

At the end of 45days therapy 57+11=68 patients (100%) shown “0” mark in the VAS of RLS

The night is so long…

I have an appointment in July to see a neurologist so, as of right now, I am on no medication. It is brutal. Often, if not usually, the spasms and constant need to move start as early as 10:00 pm when I am actually just settling down (or trying to) for the night. Then, it starts and I literally count the hours until I can get up at 5:00 and take my dogs out and move…the night is so long and so brutal and painful.. I just can’t cope.

Apologies. I guess this is just a venting post. I have read so many excellent recommendations from you all and feel prepared when I do see the neurologist but I invite anyone to relay their similar experience here with an absolute dread of the night and how seven hours can see a lifetime.

Much fondness to all.
