Re: Anything to help speed up resistance clearing?/leg pain

[Guest guest]

Nick said that his leg pain was a hypo symptom, this jumped out at me because I

also have a lot of leg pain. Nick's post

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/37351

Near the end, he says he used to " hobble across the room " in the

morning...that's exactly what I do.

I never ran or jogged but I sure used to love to walk. I thought nothing of

taking a five hour walk through the mountains near my home. Now I can barely

walk to the mailbox. I sure hope this improves as I continue to iron out all

these hypo/adrenal/etc. etc. etc. etc. & related issues.

Thank you so much, Kitty. It sounds like I have both hypo AND low potassium leg

pain.
