However the upper body is fine? heh -- Lack of calcium or magnesium -- Dehydration -- IgA food intolerances I was getting these really bad for about a year, then started taking lots of calcium supplementation.

However the upper body is fine? heh This has been associated with not getting adequate calcium. Dr. Schmidt claims that lots of calcium supplements are poorly absorbed because of their method of manufacture. He has a supplement " imported from New Zealand that is derived from free-range cattle raised on land where no pesticides are used. It is cold processed to preserve the delicate protein matrix and organic factors. " It comes in a capsule, so isn't subjected to the processing required to make a tablet.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Dr Ron Schmid, N.D. Check out his website: www.drrons.com He has a medical practice in Middlebury CT, and not being happy with the supplements available, also sells his own line of supplements. The calcium supplement is call 'Cal 1000-Mag 500 Hydroxyapatite Plus.'

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 elizabeth when i was on gleevec i had the same issue. my was due to low magnesium level. my doctor gave me a supplement which helped.hope this info helps.god bless amanda [ ] Muscle cramping My husband Nick has experienced strong muscle cramps. He's taken Gleevec since 2003. The cramps are strong leg cramps which send him out of bed from sound asleep to wide awake. Sometimes we put very hot, wet, towels on the cramp site until it calms down. Other times Nick puts Ben-Gay on the site and it will soothe away those cramps. Hardest problem is hand cramps during the day when he's carrying, walking and holding something, writing, typing, and boom! Strong finger curling hand cramps. He's dropped what he's carried because the fingers won't let him hold the items. Nick's tongue has cramped! His throat has cramped. That's scary when he's eating or has taken a drink of water, etc! Do any of you have other ways of easing body cramps? We appreciate each day though because it's a time to be together and share one more day. Yes, we've celebrated 50 years of marriage and each year is precious. Hope each of you has a warm home and loving companion to help and enjoy your days.
