Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hello there.. With me it's mostly hot burning feet. Beet red, but also on the right side. Mom just started with the Requip and it's working for her. I messed up a nerve in my back that in turn messed up the nerves in my right thigh. Since that point I've been trying everything... My foot's been terr...

Hello All... Haven't been on the site for a bit. Mom was using Quinine but the doctor said no more, so gave her the free samples of Requip. She says the it works wonderful on her hot feet (she told me to write to you folks, I haven't tried it) She's only on the middle dose and said, no hot feet in 3...

Big long article on RLS

Tonic water has quinine in it: But it's very little. From Wikipedia: Tonic water (or Indian tonic water) is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with quinine. The drink gains its name from the medicinal effects of this slightly bitter flavouring. The quinine was added to the drink as a prophylactic aga...

HI Greensea, Yep, that's how my feet are. Bright red in color and hot to touch. Sometimes it's the whole foot, sometimes the soles. Mostly it's the right foot. I understand the fan thing. Never did that (but great idea), but my left foot can be normal temp, the right one, flaming hot. I have noticed...

I think the magnesium is helping some. I'm taking the lowest I can... one at bed time but I got sick, so I cut off all of my supplements until my stomach straightens out. My feet are a bit warmer since I haven't had it the last couple nights... not too bad, so maybe I got a little bit of build up. I...

Got a question on the magnesium. My boss (who has a brother is a homapathic (?) doctor ... well he uses the supplements) told her to always take the magesium with calcium. I know above she mention just the mag, not mag/cal.... Just curious why. I've tried my dad's Chelated Mag (250 mg) and it does w...

Ladies, Thank you so much for your suggestions. My dad's magnesium was 250 mg and both mom and I did try it last night. It did help! and that was just the lower dose. I do the peppermint thing every night, I use Avalon (sorry can't remember the rest of its name, but I get it at the health store) and...

Didn't ask... is there any certain milligram to take?

Lynn, Thanks for the suggestion. I'm willing to try it. I think my dad's taking magesium for his heart. I'll bum some off of him (why not he's taking my cinamin for his diabetes). It would be terrific to even get a little relief. Believe it or not, quinine works too. How about that for an old drug. ...

I'll describe my symptoms and maybe someone out there has the same problem or can point me in the right direction. My problem is my feet, they will get red, and be warm to the touch. They feel like they're buring from the inside out. Cold water sometimes help, standing on a cold floor might help. So...
