Sulphur as remedy for RSL?

Post by Eternityroad »

Someone I am acquainted with has suggested the homeopathic remedy of sulphur to cure RLS. Before I even investigate further I would like to know if anyone has experience trying it or know of any results. I suppose if it were a cure-all for the dis-ease there would not be many persons left to contribute to this site, but maybel it is worth looking into. Anybody heard of it?

I've never heard of that one. And there is no "cure" for RLS, only treatments.

I haven't heard of it either. Did they say how it was supposed to work?

As you said, Ken, if something existed, we'd all be somewhere else! But, we're still here :x

I appreciate your responses. I like to check out all leads. Right now i am controlling my RLS with a low dosage of Lortab and occasional tabs of ropinerole. I don't have any problems unless I forget to take the lortab. Then I pop a couple and wait a half an hour and I can return to sleep. I am satisfied with this way of controlling the problem. The lortab doses aren't enough to cause a problem with addiction, at least as far as I can see and I have been doing this for nearly two years. The doc has no problem with prescribing them because my pattern of dosing shows no increase nor potential to ab-use.
