Re: leg cramps fyi

[Guest guest]

look for the fruits and vegetables which supply potassium or magnesium or calcium etc.e.g. just google" foods that supply magnesium" etc .Good food surely the best way to get nutrients. i just went to the foot doc and we talked about my bursitis, spurs and the shape of my foot in relation to charcot joint. i also mentioned i get a lot of leg cramps, severe and he said that leg cramps are very often related to low quinine. he said

there are

quinine pills and also club soda, (ick) without the rum or whatever they can keep the club soda, plus "soda" makes my legs and feet swell. anyway before i forgot i wanted to just mention the quinine thing because as far as i am concerned, anything to get rid of the leg cramps. diane, near philly, pa

My husband had severe leg cramps and found that magnesium oil helped somewhat, but what helped prevent them seemed to be really increasing his water intake, making real sure he wasn't dehydrated. Now he hardly ever gets them.

yeah i drink constantly. even if we go to dinner, i get water. i might get hot tea but i have water too. i think a good part of mine is being hypo. i am not hypo to the point of being incapacitated, but i am that i do feel tired and i believe the cramps. it is definitely a pain. diane, near philly, pa On Sep 2, 2010, at 4:42 PM, calvathansa@... wrote: My husband had severe leg cramps and found that magnesium oil helped somewhat, but what helped prevent them seemed to be really increasing his water intake, making real sure he wasn't dehydrated.

The nerves send electrical impulses signaled mainly by sodium and potassium pumps. They rely on the fact that the electrical charges must be in balance.

Either HIGH or LOW potassium can cause muscular pain. You will see it in progressive adrenal fatigue/'s disease(this is not as rare as the printed medical hype of the day wants you to believe); pain occurs in the upper front of thighs, because inadequate cortisol will cause high potassium/low sodium. When cortisol release becomes very low the pain can become excruciating. (pain in low back as well).Cushing's is the opposite and I think muscle weakness will be more prominent that the pain (like a fibromyalgia), I believe it presents with high sodium/low potassium.

Putting even more strain on the kidney, which must excrete potassium, would be many prescription drugs, like diuretics. Don't rule out that your prescriptions can be causing some issues.

Magnesium and calcium must work in tandem and magnesium does act as a channel gate blocker on Ca so it can't rush in and excite the nerve. But if Mg supps aren't working, (don't load on Ca supps while trying to bring Mg up) then take a look at potassium/sodium.

Your body minerals: magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium need to be in balance for health. Adrenal diseases affect all of these minerals. (and I believe even serum vit D, but I'm still researching that one. )

High or low potassium doesn't necessarily always show up on a blood test.

Other ideas you could research that could cause upper thigh pain:

Diabetes/hypoglycemia (common in adrenal failings), kidney failing, blood clot, fracture of femur neck or shaft, femoral hernia, underactive thyroid, anemia (look up pernicious anemia also, common in adrenal problems), parkinsons, septic arthritis, and of course the adrenal /hormone problems I touched on above.

Electrolytes may help prevent leg cramps but mainly it's calcium/magnesium along

with their co-factors such as vit D, Boron, etc. I used to get lots of leg

cramps especially when pregnant but now I get none. I keep my cal/mag up high

enough plus keep the ratio correct.

Hope this helps.

For what it is worth, pertaining to hydration, here is my experience.Even after adding the supplemental salt, I would drink and drink and still feel less than really hydrated, with easily chapped lips.I did some Googling on cellular hydration and didn't find a whole lot, but several times read, "Where sodium goes, water follows". I started adding Celtic salt to all my drinking water--about 1/4 tsp. per 16 oz or so.

A fascinating health and medical book is "Your Body's Many Cries for Water". He advocates a pinch of sea salt in a glass of water for everyone. He claims that much pain is from dehydration and he talks about what body functions get shut down when dehydration occurs. Great reading.

[Guest guest]

Judy, thanks for bringing this back up. I wanted to say this but it got

away. I first learned about unrefined salt 5 or 6 years ago, with the

suggestion to put a pinch in each glass of water. I stopped being

dehydrated all the time. The unrefined salt helps the body stay hydrated

better.

Severe dehydration causes chapped cracked lips, but if it is not relieved by water intake suspect a vit B deficiency.

[Guest guest]

i am doing b12 and folic acid. i don't know waht the problem is. i take a diuretic so do take potassium. i could probably call teh doc and get prescrip, but i really don't know what is happening. i ran out of selenium and haven't had that for a bit, gotta get some, maybe that is contributing but i am just getting aggravated at this point. if it keeps up i am going to have to get some testing done as to what is wrong with me because i am getting stiff in the legs now too. the ankles mostly. along with the stupid thyroid issue, i had vein stripping when i had triple bypass (in 1994) and maybe the blood flow is causing some of this.. i don't know but i am getting really ticked now. getting in the tub last night, i had a cramp start but not finish thank God, in the top of the back of my leg. it is annoying. diane, near philly, pa On Sep 6, 2010, at 1:48 AM, Gail Buchmann wrote:Severe dehydration causes chapped cracked lips, but if it is not relieved by water intake suspect a vit B deficiency.

There used to be OTC quinine products you could get, but they have since pulled

those, maybe 10 years ago. I used to get horrible foot cramps, and used

quinine, and begged my primary care physician to write me a prescription for

quinine, just in case I got a really bad one. He did, but warned me not to make

a habit of using it, since they worry about its effect on the heart. I never

did have to use it,and have since found that a combination of enough water, and

magnesium oil and supplements, seem to have taken care of the problem.

B2 (Riboflavin)....causes cracks and linear fissures that can become infected with Candida (grayish lesions.)

But diuretics will also cause muscle cramping and excessive dry mouth and dry lips. You should talk to your doc because he might want to change your diuretic type or perhaps when or how much you are taking, or perhaps even up your potassium a bit. The body doesn't like even a slight electrolyte imbalance.

Sjogrens is another possibility you could look up that causes cracking dry lips.

[Guest guest]

I remembered the old product I used to use, it was called Legatrim, and they

just suddenly dropped quinine from the ingredients,, because of some bad effects

on people with a certain gene, mostly African-Americans, and also some potential

heart impact on some people. I found a bike forum where people were discussing

it, because of leg cramps, and one person said they could still get quinine, but

they had to ask at the pharmacy (in NY State), and another who said they decided

to try tonic water, since it has quinine in it, and that that actually stopped

their cramps. That might be worth trying. The thing with quinine is that you

don't want to use it all the time, but it usually gets rid of a cramp pretty

quickly. Then you would want to address underlying problems via other means -

hydration, magnesium, etc.

When I was young (many moons ago) I would get open cracks at mouth corners and under ear lobes. I have read that these can be VitB related, too.

I have had really good luck with dolomite for leg cramps. Chew 3-4 for fastest

relief. If you drink soda, the phosphorus in the soda will cause the body to

pull the calcium out of the bones and muscles to balance/keep the blood levels

up. Better to drop the soda if that is the case. Usually two dolomite am and

pm are enough for prevention after stopping the soda. Don't go overboard and

take a handful, or the magnesium will keep you on the toilet all night.

Quinine drink is tonic water, not club soda. It tastes awful, but is a standard

recommendation. I would recommend that you get a liberal amount of Celtic or

Himalayan salt, for the minerals, and to help you detox.

i have never had anyone say the dolomite did not work for them.

Diane,Did the Ivory Soap work?As far as I understand it, calcium, potassium and sodium are very common in the foods we normally eat. The real problem is magnesium. See: http://www.space-age.com/osteoporosis.htmlThis is especially true if you crave chocolate. Here is what I do whenever I crave "magnesium!"Stir together:1.5 c. filtered warm water (or 1/2 c. warm water to blend ingredients, and then 1 c. cold water) Do not use milk. The calcium will bind to the magnesium and not be absorbed.1/4 t. raw cocoa powder (unprocessed cocoa contains 3x's more antioxidant flavanols)1/2 to 1 t. molasses (also nutrient dense)Since I avoid as much processed sodium as I can, I take 1/4 t. to 1/2 t. of mineral salt a day, in the morning, with an equal amount of lemon juice (optional), in 1 c. (or 2 c. if taking 1/2 t. salt) filtered water. The strength is like broth. I like mine warm, but my husband likes his cold.If I feel a leg cramp coming on I can stop it by turning on a heating pad. If I am somewhere without one, I have also used a wash cloth repeatedly saturated with hot water and squeezed out. I have also been successful by rubbing several drops of peppermint oil on the area to increase blood flow and circulation when I was not near any hot water.Good luck!

" This is especially true if

See, I did not know this. No wonder I crave chocolate. I could care less if

there is sugar in the product. I am just craving the chocolate. Once I bought a

sugar free chocolate from a family chocolate business and found that I didn't

crave the sugar but it was the chocolate.

Very interesting I might say. I learned something new today :>)
