7. Download the RLS Quick Guide and share it in your community. Send it in emails. Post it at schools, places of worship, grocery stores, libraries, community centers and other public billboards. Bring it with you to appointments and leave copies in doctor's waiting areas – GET THE WORD OUT … YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
