Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Ya know, I heard that cramps are from a lack of potassium. I got way bad cramps when I started the chemo, but I really boosted the banana intake:) My cramps are gone. These were in my legs and sides, very painful!! Lori:) Re: Side Cramps??

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Marnie, Sounds like some of the Crew has been helped by bananas. Perhaps you would benefit by adding potassium to your diet as well. Sorry about the pain. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like some of the others have said, I have tried bananas. We used to get them before football games in high school, to avoid cramps during the game. Potassium is supposed to help. Now that I know others are having the same problems, I can push my doctor on it! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
