Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

What I am prescribed is Ardetel (sp??) which is (ropinerole), so therefore Requip and Ardetel are both ropinerole.

I have on occasion used a pillow, but not for rls, it would be for my hip joint which occasionally plays up and the pillow at my knee takes the pressure/angle off the hip joint.

Hi John Here in UK it is possible to get pain medication over the counter containing codeine but it generally contains only 8mg codeine along with the paracaetamol, and of course as previously mentioned we don't need the paracaetamol. Is there no generic Requip in Australia, known as ropinerole, and...

Hi Ruby Your post could not possibly have offended anyone. Yes, this board has been a life saver to me, all I have learned has come from this site, and it was helped me educate my GP. I am in the UK, we have badly felt the credit crunch, and the small firm I work for has dropped everyone to a 3 day ...

Hi Happyfeet When you say you 'know the sweet relief of no rls' do you mean relief when you finally got your meds, or do you mean that you bought Requip as opposed to using the generic (which I get here in UK as ropinerole) and that the requip was better than the generic. I am getting along not too ...

I think a doc straight out of medical school, means you got to see someone with education and training but who now has to learn to be a doctor!! And this one sounds like there is a lot of learning to be done - starting with LISTENING TO THE PATIENT !!!!

I hope you are feeling better.

Brady, I am so sorry to read how you are suffering, this has to be one of the most disturbing situations I have read in the forum.

I know that Aiken, Zach and others are very well versed in medications etc. I have nothing to offer you but my thoughts and hopes that you find a doc to help.

Hi Gill, welcome back, we missed you.

sorry you haven't been well, I can empathise cos for the first time ever, I had to go to the doc with anxiety condition.

Take care

This is just a quickie... Anne, sorry about your rta. Hope you are ok. Zach, when I had really bad toothache, I found that oil of cloves soaked onto a piece of cotton wool and put in in your mouth next to the tooth, in and around the cavity, really helped, it was really a big help, worked for a coup...

Susan, I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to cut anything out of your letter cos there is so much that you wish to say, and that you wish to make very clear. Please, please do not take offence with what I am about to say, but I also think the length of the letter could be an issue with t...

Yeah, loopy is good, tho would be better without the pain.
