Thanks for your reply Barb,=A0 you wrote in part: >This may or may not apply to your situation, Ernie, but I have been on >requip for about a year and within the past 3 months I have developed >precisely the same type of rash that you describe.=A0 The difference is= that >it occurs at my wrist right under the watch face of my wrist watch.=A0 I= tried >switching arms, but wherever the watch was the rash appeared. Barb, it is under my watch strap, which is titanium, that it is most noticeable. Because of this I have no longer been wearing my watch around= the house. I thought that it was simply the pressure on the skin and not the material itself. Our time scales are similar in that I started Requip 16 months ago and= believe the rash started, in a minor way, about 6 months ago. I am anxious for feedback from others because it may be that I will have to try coming off Requip. Ernie.=A0=20 Ernie Peters <[log in to unmask]>
