Obviously that's not case. My bad

Tonic water usually contains quinine - it will say on the label.
Just a suggestion that seems to work for me

Oh - you didn't offend me at all Dee. I've had my RLS off and on for about 25 years. I do know that RLS can be alcohol related,though. I do have medication, but it doesn't work most of the time. I doubled the dose last night and it still didn't work. As I mentioned, it seems exercise makes mine worse. (I walked the golf course yesterday and it was particularly bad last night). Also, I read it gets worse as one ages. Maybe my birthday pushed the RLS over the edge. Unfortunately, the alcohol seemed to help at times, but that's not an option any more. Thanks for your input. I'll go in search of quinine water tomorrow.
