Pretty scary when you don't know what it is, right? I too don't get head aches every time I get the visual symptoms. This is why it took me time to figure out...

It's interesting to know that other people are also using gravol as a sleeping aid! My husband is all about melatonin and wanted me to try. By doing a quick...
Hi Wendy, I've bought it at Shoppers Drug Mart in the same area where all the other sleep aids are sold. I didn't have much luck with it and it made me feel...
My pleasure Michele! The only thing with gravol is that it may cause constipation over time. So if you take it frequently and have bowel issues, you may want...
I have also used gravol on occasion to sleep. My doctor (GP) told me to stop because it is very habit forming and I found it gave me a "sleep hangover"....
Thanks Jim, I will look for it. Always interested in finding something that might help. Even though I am not on any MS drugs I have been through hell and...
Gravol is very habit forming indeed. Which is why you should talk to your doctor before starting any kind of treatment. I don't use gravol on a daily or even...

Hi Michele, Very good question. I don't think there is a good or bad answer. It's a matter of personal choice but it's definitely a good thing to talk about it...
Hi Sophie, As usual you are a fountain of information!!!! I had decided at the beginning of the month I was going to get the vaccination but after this week...
Thanks Michele... Yes, I'm also dreading the waiting in line part... I'll probably bring a mask and a chair! In Quebec, there was talk about getting the flu...
Hello Michelle I spoke with my doctor last week and he will have a stock of the vaccine in a couple of weeks. I will probably get a shot. I, personally, have...
