I am trying some of this Hyland Leg cramp med to see if it helps me with my lower back and leg uneasiness that I get when I lay down to sleep at night, or when I have to sit through a treatment...has anybody else tried it?  Any known drug interactions that I should be aware of?  Any reasons I should avoid it?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Robby your leg 'uneasiness' is it not restless leg syndrome ? You might want to read through other threads to see if it is ?

Robby it does sound like restless legs syndrome as Kickstart has pointed out and if it is I can't see this treatment making a difference because form what I saw from the link, it's more associated with leg pain and cramps. Whatever you decide to do I would consult with your renal doc. in the first instance just to make sure it won't clash with your other medication thereby causing harmful effects. There are lots of medications prescribable for restlless legs each with varying degrees of effectiveness per individual patient.

I am trying the Tonic Water (Quinine) treatment to see if that works.  So far, it seems to be working for me.

Flip,  I seriously contemplated that additional ingredient.   I decided not to "enhance" it this time.  But if the straight tonic water isn't effective,  I will experiment with some additional ingredients for sure!!!

I've actually tried it before and it does work. I just hate the taste. BTW, I hate the taste of gin too.
