DS Skips Mental Health Charity Donation

Don't know if you had a chance to read Doug's e-mail about the 4 selected charities that DS is donating to. None of them are mental health organizations - all physical health. How does everyone feel about this? I don't know whether to feel slighted or be understanding.

DarkSign,

    Would I fall under the Insomnia topic? I can't sleep because of the RLS. As soon as I lay down it acts up. I've been getting about 3 hours of sleep per day for the past month. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is there anything that helps that creepy crawly tingly feeling in the legs. It's now in my arms too.  Started getting this when doc put me on AntiPsychotics.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
