Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 I am failing in treating a client homeopathically and wondered if anyone can offer herbal/vit solutions. male, 80 fine to couple of years ago and had bells palsy. this finally settled down and more or less cleared. after that he went to docs as he put on weight and had swollen ankles-put on water tablets (for 1 mth), weight dropped off and ankles down. then shortly after that started not sleeping, dropping off to 'sleep' for seconds whilst eating/holding cup of tea/in conversation etc. he forgets things, (eg his daughter told him to do s/thing and he forgot) yesterday he added that from about 8pm he starts with restless legs (thigh area)-he is better for standing or walking round. he now thinks this is what is disturbing sleep as he has to keep getting up and busying himself.this is what he wants help with-he needs to sleep at night He can suddenly jerk (legs/upper arms) he's not on any drugs now (1) what can cause water in ankles-(heart/kidney/lungs?) how would i know which (Doc's tests show he is fit and well) (2) would ginkgo be good for his problem - and gotu kola?? or what else (3) any ides what's going on?
