Tonic water and Hydroxichloraquine?
Hi - wonder if anyone else has experienced extreme nausea and vomiting after drinking tonic water? I added some slimline tonic water to my fruit juice last night in order to take my Hydroxy tablet with my dinner. I bought a few bottles to keep me dry - the taste of tonic is like having a g&t so it keeps

Pet Peeves in Describing RLS, (and this is everywhere, on every site that has to do with RLS.)
Sooooooo many people have so much trouble describing RLS, this may be a helpful hint for some of you. This is about the use of the word "cramp" when used to describe RLS. RLS is not cramps in any way shape or form. Nocturnal leg cramps are muscular, like those charlie horse cramps that make you want

painful leg spasms
Please does anyone have any answers or cures for extremely painful night time leg spasms. Have tried everything from years of quinine (now withdrawn), Vit D and Calcium supplements, Magnesium supplements, muscle stretching excercises, taking real salt rather than salt replacements and raising the bed

How useful is Baclofen
How useful is Baclofen to others? I was on it from before diagnosis, but it didn't really reduce spasms. My Neurologist then put me on to Quinine, but that didn't help either. I have now taken myself off both drugs (with the agreement of both GP & neurologist) and am on no medication apart from occasional

Quinine sulphate side effects
Hi. I've just found this site and am loving reading the blogs and questions! I've had RLS for years but until recently it was manageable and mainly in the evenings. Recently it has got worse and been affecting my sleep so I decided it was time to see my GP. He did a blood test to check iron and kidney

I have suffered with RLS for the last 40 years to varying degrees. I have tried various "cures", these range from quinine tablets to clomazapin.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RA AND ITS TREATMENT
I thought it would be interesting to delve into the history of RA. It goes back pretty far; farther than I thought it would. Some skeletal remains in what is now Tennessee (USA) date back to 4500 BC and have shown some signs of Rheumatoid Arthritis. So far, that’s been the earliest appearance of this

Quinoric now - what happened to Plaquenil?
I've just collected my latest prescription for Hydroxichloraquine from the pharmacy and find I've been given a different type of pill with a brand new name. I've experienced this many times with my Levothryoxine so I know it's quite usual for doctors to switch brands but am slightly alarmed this time

Restless leg
This is so bad I've been in tears! Didn't get a wink of sleep last night so ended up getting up at 6.30am!! It's not just during the night I suffer from this, it's through the day as well, as soon as I sit down, it starts again! Got some tonic water today as I'm told the quinine in it helps. Any other

Week 7 Run 1, Calf pain sorted, I think.
After taking advice on my last blog and a few days rest, I managed to do this run 6.30am today. Having previously had a pain in one calf, I thought I might never run again (hypochondria comes to mind). Rested the leg for a few days, rubbed deep heat into it (don't know if that helped but it felt good

Well it has been awhile since I have posted a blog or been on. It has been a terrible start to the new year so far.
