Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Alison Magnesium status needs to be good. Lambert's multi supplement for pregnancy and breast feeding contains 150mg so presumably safe in these amounts and can be easily taken in diet. 10 brazil nuts contains 80mg for example.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, I have not been sleeping very well due to leg cramping and my hands cramping. They have not been bad but bad enough to keep me from sleeping. I called my live co-ordinator nurse (I am so lucky here with my doctors and nurses) and she told me to try drinking tonic water.......I just had the best nights sleep.....Don't know if it was that or just thinking it was the tonic water. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks, Lyncia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Lyncia, I have no idea about the tonic water and have never heard of that solution, but I sure am happy that it worked for you and you finally got a good night's sleep! Praying that continues!!! Love and hugs........ Diane C. from TN > > > Hi, > > I have not been sleeping very well due to leg cramping and my hands cramping.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well, I'm losing my silly mind! Yes I do know what is special about tonic water! It has quinine in it! I watched an old episode of House last night in which the tonic water was the culprit because the patient was overdosed on quinine cause he drank too much tonic water. I know Momma was prescribed quinine for leg cramps when she was suffering from renal failure. Lord, I'm glad I remembered that! It would have eaten at me for days and days! Hugs.......

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 You beat me to the punch, you smart lady. Yes, it's the quinine. I was having terrible pain in my legs at night, and my PCP told me to drink tonic water. I didn't do it though, because I was afraid. I never know who to believe. It's off to the pain doctor on the handicap bus for Sharon and I. Everyone have a good day. Love, Bobby,aka RWE Re: Cramps Well, I'm losing my silly mind!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Diane, I had to chuckle when I read this. I saw that same episode of House last night, plus once before. It's one of my favorite shows. Penny > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have not been sleeping very well due to leg cramping and my hands > cramping.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Penny, Yep! I always told Terry watching so many medically-based programs would pay off someday! I like to watch just about anything that has a medical mystery involved. Hugs......
