Guest guest Posted October 29, 1998 Report Share Posted October 29, 1998 Hello All, Just been to my podiatrist for a Heel Spur (On top of the rls in same foot. Fun! I mentioned my RLS to him and he suggested that I try Elavil mixed an an absorbing gel applied topically three times a day. He said it's been a blessing in 80% of RLS patients...He said it takes about a week to notice an improvement. Anyone heard of this??? Now, I know RLS is never cured so would this mean that I'd have to purchase this compound medicine mixed up specially with a $35.00 price tag forever if it works??? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Hi , I'm no expert here, but this doesn't sound like something either of you wants. If there are alternatives to this emdication, or if you think the would be better of without, I'd talk to your Dr. to see if he thinks it wouldn't hurt to take him off that medication & then do that. Maybe it sounds irresponsible for me to say something like this, but I'm sure this is not what Warren expected either, but it sounds like he's too much 'out of it' to carefully consider the options he has. Best wishes, Marcel > Hi all, > Warren's Dr. has put him on Tegerol to try and calm him down. It has done > that and I'm afraid more.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 , My prayers are with you and Warren. I wish that I could say more. Know that we are thinking about you and are sending our best your way. Deborah & Setzer Reply-To: shydrager To: shydrager > Subject: New Med Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 20:55:32 -0700 Hi all, Warren's Dr. has put him on Tegerol to try and calm him down. It has done that and I'm afraid more. Warren didn't even miss me last week when I was in bed with pneumonia and wasn't up to visiting. Yesterday when I went in he said " Hi " and then drifted off (not asleep) but not with me either. I fed him his lunch, and it was like feeding a baby. He immediately went to sleep after we finished. During the time I was feeding him, he was reaching out and taking " something " in his hand and bringing it back to lay over the arm of his wheelchair. I've got a call in to the Dr. to see what he thinks. Warren had been trying to get out, walking everywhere in his new chair and very glad to see me when I arrived. Now it is nothing. The Dr has told me that his dementia was really taking over and he wanted to try this Tegerol (sp?) to see if it would help him. He told me it would not make him sleepy allthe time. If any one has used this Tegerol, please let me know your experiences with it. Right now Warren isn't living, he's existing.
