Clive has been put onto a new med for his RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) Its called Ropinarole. Its helping a little. Its on a tapered dose. He started off on a white tablet (0.25mg) three times a day. Then last week he moved up to a yelow tablet (0.5mg) three times a day. Now this week he is up to the white and yellow tabs together (0.75mg) 3 times a day. Next week he goes onto a green tab at 1mg a go. When he changes dose he gets pretty bad heartburn for two days. We told the doc and he said it was quite normal.
We are in a heatwave here. Way too hot for me. Puts me in a real bad mood when I am too hot. Even the dogs think its too hot, they are all lying in the living room, staying out of the sun.
