Prapimexole - Confused - Thank you!!

[Bowie4eva]

Just to say thank you to Joolz, Sue and Lotte for your really helpful replies re this.

I am beginning to realise how dehydration affects my RLS really badly. But I think I need something else. These views are so helping me and I think my neurologist and GP would be amenable to change!

Thank you and best wishes.

If you think dehydration is affecting you, do also consider regularly consuming electrolytes (the minerals etc we get in water).

Thank you , Bold Girl, strangely enough, someone else mentioned electrolytes to me, so I’m going to investigate!

Thank you. X

Interesting! I discovered this when severely dehydrated following a stomach bug ('both ends' as they say!). I had drunk lots of water but minerals etc lost. Legs were in a terrible state that night (way worse than usual). Once I used a re-hydration sachet all fine the next evening.

I've ordered a powder recommended by a friend - I'm abroad so won't get it just yet, but in the meantime have my Mum on it and can hugely see the difference in her. Can send a pic of the brand if helpful :-). Apparently many of us are deficient!

Thank you!! How much and how often do you take this supplement?

[DicCarlson]

For electrolytes - consider simple sea salt in water. I use 1/4 tsp in a 20 oz. water bottle. Use Himalaya salt (no micro plastic). For Potassium you can use Cream of Tartar. This is also the "Adrenal Cocktail" from the Root Cause Protocol. Commercial electrolyte blends - I have used Hammer Nutrition, endurolyte extreme.
