I personally had no side affects from the Quinine. My neurologist would not

prescribe it to me or my nephew (Also with CMT) any more. I think I remember

him saying something about possible liver damage.

I do agree it helped but since I stopped taking it over 10 years ago, I have had

very very few cramps. I used to get leg cramps so bad I could not get a restful

nights sleep.

I used to get leg cramps at night before going to bed, or on long flights on

airplanes. I found that drinking a bottle of Tonic Water when I had leg

cramps worked for me.

Obviously tonic water has quinine in it. I think that is why it worked so

well.

I've used the Hyland's Leg Cramps remedy off and on for

quite a while. If I'm having " restless leg " kind of pain it helps a lot.

Its interesting to note that many Rheumatologists will prescribe a version

of Hydrocloroquine (an anti-malarial drug) for people with this kind of pain

and certain rheumatic diseases...it in fact falls into the class of DMARD's

or

Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs.

The prescriptive is some pretty heavy stuff. I took if many years ago while

spending

an extended amount of time in Centeral America during a malarial outbreak.

I also note that the prescriptive quinine is somewhat toxic to the liver.

The homeopathic is, however, quite safe to use on a nightly basis.

It helps me with some of the myoclonus (tics and " nap jerks " )...just wish

it worked all the time! The Hyland's remedy is easy to find at just about

any

healthfood store. I would highly recommend anyone give it a try.

But remember, for homeopathic meds to be effective you need to take them

after brushing and rinsing the mouth well- you want a clean mouth.

Next, you should not touch the pills (many homeopaths believe that the

interaction

with your body oils or body temp can affect the potency of the remedy)...

it is best to tip the bottle and tap the tablets into the cap without

touching them

and then toss them under the tongue, letting them disolve slowly.

All homeopathics that are not in liquid form are best absorbed if they are

taken

sublingually.

If you can stand the taste of Tonic water, it is an effective way to add

some quinine to the diet

and it really can help with certain types of cramping pain.

Good luck!
