Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have two problems that are not CRON related but may be getting worse with CRON. I am having trouble with itching and I am having trouble with cramps in the evening after 3 sets of doubles tennis in the mornings. The itching has gotten to the point that a whole body skin transplant would be my choice in some alternate universe. And the cramps --- well once I got them in both leg calf muscles and the front shin muscle, in the same area, in both legs. First I would stretch both the calf muscles but the minute I would stop that and have my wife push down on my toes of both feet to stretch the front muscles, the calves would re-cramp. After 20 minutes of this I was in tears of both pain and frustration. This episode was 9 months ago. Today I have quinine, only play tennis once a week and hobble to the hot tub to do the stretching in hot water. But still, I'd rather be sleeping at 2 AM. I have been having these problems for years, but in the last 5 months they have gotten considerably worse. It could be things (don't you love my technical vocabulary) being released into my blood stream as I have lost weight. I am 65 years, 6' tall and weigh in at 167 pounds today. I have lost 23 lbs in the last 5 months since starting CRON. I have been doing 17 hours of tea only each day and then eating my calories in 7 hours. Diet is good; lots of steamed veggies, wild salmon, great salad variety (with black beans and quinoa, a couple of nuts, and a couple of eggs a week. Some Ortho-Core and Longevinex thrown in for good measure. So the question, have any of you had similar problems? I have been taking N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Glutathione since I started CRON to aid the chelation of anything released by my fat reduction. Oh, some additional info about the itching. About 2 years ago my doctor said, " time for your once in a lifetime pneumonia shoot. " Well --- I got a rash with itching that never went away but got slowly better for 18 months. Then I started CRON and it is much worse. If you see a guy on the street that can't go through a door without rubbing his back on the doorframe, that's me. New type of obsessive compusive behavior But no way am I going to stop CRON. I feel great! A bounce in my step, happy mood, good energy, a little giddy --- what black cloud, I don't see any black cloud (Visualize with head snapping back and forth, confused Alzheimer look). ?
