And yes I informed my physician of my choice of poison. Her pills or my Scotch. All went well for a decade at the least....then the RLS started coming back...so I once again listened to friends who suggested Quinine or Tonic Water with my Scotch. The RLS went away but I began having headaches which is not the normal at all for me. Not a headache person. Unless I ingest Lactose which gives me a severe migraine. Otherwise nope no headaches. So I went to GOOGLE like I do for every question I have in life.
Google told me things that scared me!! Said Quinine can be fatal. And number one side effect was headaches. Ya think?? Now what ? Bar of soap under the sheets? Gabapentin? No No No!!
After a few nights of jumping out of bed five times with leg spasms I am back on Quinine. Which is truly to treat Malaria.
Not long ago I had surgery with the complication of A-Fib. I was treated with a drug called Amniodarone. No pharmacist or doctor told me I could not mix grapefruit and or TONIC/Quinine with that drug. By the way Amniodarone is a strong life saving heart medication. Wouldn't "cha" think someone would have told me... As usual I googled it and saved me own life!
