Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008  Tony/Joe.....OK, OK, I know I'll hear you laugh from there, but, my husband swears by putting a bar of soap in the sheets down by his legs. IT WORKS! Unwrap the soap, any soap...after awhile, use the soap in the shower and get out a new bar. We read it in Peoples Pharmacy, in our Portland Oregonian a couple years back. He had terrible leg cramps! I do have trouble w/ numbness on a couple toes ...don't know if it's IPF related or not........ Mama-Sher, age 69.IPF 3/06, NSIP 4/08 OR. Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Pain Having pain in my lower legs and the ball of my feet-Anyone else have this problem? Wonder if the IPF has anything to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sher Heart Rate Some maximum heart rate calculators. But, you need to ask your doctor. However, the 100 is probably not out of line. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/target-heart-rate/SM00083 It says 91-128 as max for you exercising. American Heart Association says 75-128 for your age. The National Heart and Lung Institute as posted on American Cancer Society says 75-113. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_6_1x_Target_Heart_Rate_Calculator.asp > > Not laughing-I did try it for RLS but sorry to say it did not work-> thanks for the suggestion tho> > >> > Tony/Joe.....OK, OK, I know I'll hear you laugh from there, but, my > husband swears by putting a bar of soap in the sheets down by his > legs.
