Circulation Boosters?

I have terrible blood circulation in my legs, I also have epilepsy, I was thinking of relieving the tiredness, but a friend advised me not to start on them, because I have epilepsy? Do they actually work anyway?

Hi Adion57

Can you let me know what it is you wish to take to help with your circulation? Also which epilepsy medicine you take.

Regards

Diane, I was hoping to use a foot massage machine, for bad blood circulation for the legs. [something like the "Ian Botham" 'special'?] I am taking Epilim 700 and Lamictal 200 .

all the best

Hi Adlon57

Using a foot massage will not affect your epilepsy or your epilepsy medicine.

If you haven’t already, you may wish to talk to your family doctor about your poor circulation.

Hope you enjoy the massage machine, they can be so relaxing.
