Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I suffer from RLS. Mine is genetic as well anemia related. I am Fe++ anemic. I had a GI Bleed in October, got transfused 2 units. Ever since then my RLS has improved. It is still there, but not as bad. The GI Bleed was prompted because of anticoagulation therapy for a St. Jude's valve. Itake Requip and I have been able to reduce my dose. Prior to Requip I used to drink Seltzer water because it contains quinine. For years this has been the standard treatment. My mother was prescribed quinine tablets for her RLS. On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 11:41 AM, Nodvin wrote: > > > Does anyone know about nutritional help for this?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Idrink a lot of seltzer, I thought that quinine water contained quinine that helped with RLS, I thought that seltzer was just carbonated water.
