- I also am very active on the RLS Foundation Facebook page. I am on disability for chronic pain issues and sleep disorders, so my unofficial full time job is moderating support groups/owning them, and I like to get the word out. I started a letter writing campaign to Congressman Henry Waxman about RLS awareness, after he was on an interview show, and made fun of RLS. He does not make fun any more. He sent an aplogy letter to the RLS Foundation, and to us, after our campaign. He is very aware now! So, that is what I like to do. I am also a researcher and Mama Bear. LOL
