leg cramps

[Guest guest]

At times I get awful foot cramps. Seems to run in my family. What I

do to relieve the misery is to immediately take (or get someone to

bring it to me) Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin E (or better yet, the

antioxidant I've been using since 1996, which helps circulation).

These usually relieve my suffering almost immediately. - Dom

I only have this problem when I forget my Vitamin/Mineral Complex for a

few days. They are high quality, they absorb very well and they have

helped my fibro fatigue ALOT. As soon as I start getting the cramps I

know I messed up. Mine are mostly in the arches of my feet but I do get

some in my calves too.

My recommendation is to pay a little more for a high quality vitamin

and mineral complex to be sure it will be absorbed by your cells and

not just flushed out before it has a chance to work for you.

Many " off the shelf " vitamins are of low-quality and use binders that

are not easily processed by the body. This means you may not be

receiving the full benefits that your supplements should provide.

Hope this helps.

I have had severe cramps in the arch of my right foot as well as my right calf. Wearing shoes with a better arch support has helped both.

leg cramps

We went to Texas last Friday and we had to sleep on an air mattress that night. I developed a really bad cramp in the arch part of my right foot. Later that night, I got another cramp on the inside of my thigh just above the knee. It has continued to bother me but now I'm getting "cramplike" pains in the calves of both legs. Does/has anyone experienced these pains? GFoley, Al

[Guest guest]

I have heard this is a sign of low potassium---I have been trying to

eat a banana every day and it helps!!

I get these too, sometimes. What works for me is a couple of calcium

supplements and a glass of water. (sometimes it's because I'm

dehydrated) Then I try to do relaxation exercises (breathing into the

pain, etc.) and the pain usually subsides very quickly after that.

[Guest guest]

I have leg cramping as well. I

occasionally get them in my calf,

which never had a clot, but most often

Have them

in my groin where my clots had formed. It is as painful as when I had my clots

and my upper thigh

and calf feels swollen. I have seen my doc

multiple times about it and she said I have Post-thrombotic syndrome.

I cannot take calcium due tp kidney stones

but would welcome any idea on how I can alleviate the

pain.

It is very nice to have other people that have similar problems as I because

I do not feel so alone.

Hi ,

Sounds like you need magnesium supplements.

crick.

in fibromyalgia network news they suggested

1. Rotate your ankle also stretch your calf muscles too.

2.Once you are sitting on the edge of your bed massage the bottom of

your feet then with two small cans of soup roll your feet over them

with some pressure you can stand.

3. Never go barefoot.

Ladies my problem is number 3 I like to go barefoot as a yard dog

inside and out.I recently went to wall mart , got two pairs of flats.

they feel so good when I wear them.

Also with leg and foot and calf pain may be our shoes need to be

replaced or arch supports put in them.Thea article also stated it

helps to replace our shoes every 6 months too.If you cannot try the

gel filled insoles.

Hope this helps I get the cramps too I massage my calf's or have my

hubby do it and I also use a good creme I get at the Dollar General

store like Ben gay but it isn't goes on in a few min turns cool but i

like it allot. I also use mag with malic acid too.

I was wondering what Paradoxyl Dystonia is, I have never heard of it.

My mom has been getting leg and feet cramps so bad. Her muscles or

joints stick and take a while to come out of it. It is hard to explain

all I know is that it gives her severe pain. Hospice has been giving

her haldol for anxiety, anger, irritability, and confusion. After she

takes it the cramps get much worse. Yesterday she was screaming

hysterically and hitting the wall because of the pain. We finally gave

her some Morphine.

> I had very bad leg and foot cramps then eventually ended up with my

arms cramping. In the beginning it was from the liver but then later

I ended up with Paradoxyl Dystonia..and was very painful! (Putting it

mildly) I was on muscle relaxers which only helped a little. My

husband did a lot of massaging! Since Tx I do not have that anymore

and only an occasionalnormal " leg or foot cramp. Talk to your liver

doc. I do suggest a warm tub before bed if you have them at night.

> Hi Bee!

>      Please tell me why I get leg cramps at night and what I can do

about it.  Also, I am going to be out of Nystatin by tomorrow.  It

will probably take 3 days or more to get more.  Is this bad?  (Don't

want Candida to mutate.)  Please advise.

++Hi Charise. Leg cramps are mainly caused by an imbalance of

calcium and magnesium, so please ensure you are taking the amounts

and type I recommend (citrate), and ensure your brand states

the " elemental amounts " (the amounts absorbed) on the label. Review

that section in my Supplement details:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php

If you buy calcium or magnesium citrate that doesn't have

the " elemental amounts " you may need to take more. If you get another

type, instead of citrate, you may need to take more.

My program starts with taking unrefined coconut oil as the only

antifungal, until you can take 6 tbls. without getting severe die-off

symptoms. You wouldn't add any other antifungal like Nystatin until

then. It isn't bad to not take antifungals, except coconut oil

provides so many health benefits it is an important part of the

nutrients required, in addition to being antifungal.

Candida doesn't mutate unless you take toxic/poisonous antifungal

drugs.

Candida isn't cured by " killing it off. " It doesn't work that way.

The only way to cure candida is to build up the immune system so it

becomes strong enough to " make " candida " change back " into the

friendly organism it is supposed to be in the body (what it was

before it started overgrowing). So antifungals are minor compared to

the diet and all supplements which build up the immune system (in

addition to eliminating toxins and the foods and toxins that feed

candida of course).

I take BalanCe from www.vrp.com which is Vit C, Mg, Potassium and one more thing - can't remember. But it helps keep everything balanced. It sounds like a potassium issue.

leg cramps

I've started getting leg cramps (charlie horses) in my one calf at night. I was thinking back to when all this began and it seems it was around the same time I started iodine (about a year ago). I am taking magnesium, calcium, and drinking alot of water with sea salt in it. Could the sea salt have gotten my potassium out of whack? I'm wondering which of the minerals is low. Can anyone relate or have any suggestions? Thanks. Deb

[Guest guest]

It has 300 mg of calcium. And I had to stop using it, as extra calcium causes arthritis in my hands. I forgot because I haven't taken it in years. But, it is a problem. You can read about it in THE CALCIUM LIE by , M.D. and also Appleton's book on bones...can't recall the title now..read it many, many years ago.

I think you want magnesium and maybe some boswellin.

Also I never got an email back regarding my son's strep throat so I am not sure

if you ever got it.

+++Hi H. Leg cramps indicate imbalances, or lack of calcium and

magnesium, so ensure you are taking equal amounts of cal/mag in citrate form as

I recommend. If you are taking those amounts, you should increase your

magnesium a little first, and if that doesn't help lower your calcium a little.

Here's the supplements description, doses, etc.:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php

Here's a handy Supplements Chart:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp7.php

Sorry if I missed your message about your son's strep throat; what message

number was it and I will definitely reply.

The best, Bee

experiencing leg cramps every morning as i wake up. is there a reason for this?

+++Hi . Have you ever had leg cramps in the past? If you have your body

could be " retracing " them as part of the healing process.

Also there are things that can cause mineral imbalances, so ensure you aren't

taking any supplements other than those on this program, and also don't have

green drinks, chlorophyll, lots of tea (most are diuretic which makes the body

get rid of fluids and also minerals), etc.

Also ensure you aren't drinking softened water which contains lots of sodium

which depletes minerals in the body. Also baking soda is high in sodium, as

well as tonics, selzer, club soda, etc.

Also ensure you are getting 1 1/2 teaspoons of " good " ocean sea salt in the

Electrolyte Drink and/or added to foods after cooking.

Ensure you take cal/mag with meals, since stomach acid helps your body absorb

and utilize minerals. Also take them along with vitamin C which helps because

it is acidic. All minerals require acid in order to be absorbed and utilized.

If it is none of the above, try taking 100 mg more of magnesium.

All the best, Bee

**** I take extra magnesium and this seems to work for me - when I don't take

the extra I do get leg cramps.

[Guest guest]

Yes Winnie....both scenarios are possible. My husband said that he gets severe

muscle cramps when dehydrated....he would notice especially after doing PT with

the military (grueling excercises). A fever definitely can dehydrate you too!!

Okay, thanks, I've never had it happen with my other kids but this one is very

athletic. He had 5-6 hours of sports then got sick the next day. Hopefully a day

at home will do the trick. He refuses to go to school because he's " walking like

a duck. "

You are correct. He wouldn't eat the banana I gave, but I rubbed Traumeel cream

on his calves and he slept. That did the trick but I think I'll make sure to get

that banana in now to keep it from happening again. Thanks!

I don't know , I got this very badly before treatment. I thought that

it may be due to lactic acid build up as the tumour cells don't do aerobic

respiration very well; I did have very high wbc, so it might be due to

tumour load. Certainly got muscle cramps in odd places,like rib muscles.

Probably complete rubbish but I can't recall seeing an explanation.

Looking forward to you finding an explanation.

Joanne has experenced lot of cramping when she had active lymphoma and

particularly after treatment. Just an impression but I think treatments and

perhaps CLL/NHL can contribute to metabolic imblances. See

http://www.lymphomation.org/side-effect-metabolic.htm The sweating could also

contribute I suppose, as this is a common reason for cramping in athletes.

Leg Cramps

Can anyone help me understand the correlation between leg cramps and CLL. I

know that this is not a symptom experienced by all CLL patients but is there a

theory as to why some of us experience this condition? I often thought that

cramps were caused by my excessive sweating but even extra electrolytes and

hydration can not prevent them.
