Re: INFO - On muscle cramps THANK YOU!

[Guest guest]

That was kind for you to post that. and helpful..

Dr has already checked potassium, calcium, dehydration and throid... stretching

is impossible as the contractions are extreme and the muscles so rigid and

contracted...

I am losing some faith in traditional medicine due to my husband and his

illnesses, 2 of my kids, myself and a friend, nevermind my nursing credentials,

my personal experience is causing me to think more outside the box. These

contractions have already resulted in a couple ruptured tendons...

who knows, maybe he will take away my RA diagnosis, as well..... My RA factor is

very high, my sed rate is very high, my ANA has been high for over 25

years....my joints are typical RA, the XRays support it....except the pain an

swelling is not symmetrical and moves.....

It is a mess.....and there are not many options of rheumies in my area. Already

I drive 2 of my kids and my husband 3 hours each way to chicago for ther health

care.I am on the edge of just giving up and succumbing to symptoms. <sigh>

I will see what my rheumie has to say after the holidays.....I can muddle thru

that much longer, anyway.....

BUT THAK YOU for the info.....it is good info ffor many of us, I am sure.
