Leg cramps and Vitamin A

[Guest guest]

Earlier this year when we began getting information that too much

Vitamin A caused less absorption of calcium, I stopped taking my dry

Vitamin A & D tablet. I thought I was probably getting enough

Vitamin A from the two multi-vitamins taken daily.

Because of my other pre-menopausal symptoms, I thought that the

terrible leg cramps I started getting was yet another symptom.

After starting progesterone and testosterone, the muscle aches I felt

in my neck and shoulders went away, as did my hot flashes and some

other symptoms.

But the terrible leg cramps in my calves continued each night.

Finally, after many months, I decided to add the dry Vitamin A & D

back. Lo and behold, the cramps in my calves have disappeared!

This may or may not be the solution to anyone else's leg cramps, but

it's worth a try if other remedies have failed.
