Ropinirole, RLS
Ropinirole is not available in Ecuador, I am told. Does anyone know of a medication for RLS that is available? I typed a long list of potential alternatives into the Pharmacy's website and nothing came up. I'm thinking there must be some ... Read More

I hope that happens! Read More

cccmedia, my condolences. I'll be moving out of my apartment soon, and I expect the terrible management company to attempt some gouges for things that were a problem already when I moved in. We tried to have them fix things, but.... Well it ... Read More

I think it will be more interesting if we steer away from the benefits of the money going farther. We already know about that. Let's make this be about Ecuador. Read More

Hard to find things in Ecuador by russelleaton
Some things I cannot find in Ecuador: English marmite. English Colman鈥檚 mustard. Greaseproof (parchment) paper for oven cooking. Shoe horn. Non-aluminium bakeware. Vitamin MK7. Bed sheets that are long enough. Ovaltine.
