Try tonic water, with quinine, for ‘jerky’ legs

   I occasionally have what I called “jerky legs.” I guess it’s really restless leg syndrome.
   Once I noticed an ad in a drugstore that seemed to describe my condition. They offered a pill called Q-vel. I tried it. It worked! The “Q” stood for quinine. When I tried to get it again, it was no longer available.
   I mentioned it to my neighbor, Anne. She said she might be able to help me. She brought me a six-pack of tonic water — which contains quinine. It worked. I keep some on hand to relieve the condition if it happens again. No prescription is needed. Try it.

This is an old remedy from way back. Some of these old natural remedies are far better and safer than what comes out of the pharmacutical companies. AND CHEAPER! AND YA DON'T NEED IT COVERED BY MEDICAL INSURANCE.

I think NYS would be upset at the folks that drop the use of Requip for restless leg syndrome,,,,it does have a side effect of having the compulsion to gamble---we all know how NYS PROMOTES GAMBLING......
