Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I know that in the long run, minerals will help... but in the short term, when my legs are cramping up painfully, quinine will stop the leg cramps within about a half hour or less. Tonic water contains quinine, so when I need to, I just start drinking some (the diet version). Perhaps not the most healthy thing to drink, but it stops the cramps and the pain. > > I know eating banana's helps my husband with his leg cramps.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Maybe I missed this, but I once understood that the bar of soap was supposed to be down at the foot of the bed where your feet were, am I right? I thought for a while that maybe it worked because it kept us from pointing our toes in our sleep - - and thus kept our calf muscles stretched. It was a theory of mine, I could be all wet.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Pam. I have discussed this with many others. Some people feel it doesn't matter where on the bed you put your bar of soap. Others say " put at the foot of the bed " . What did Melody do? I took 5 bars of soap, unwrapped them and put them all over the bed. Couldn't hurt AND MY BED SMELLED GREAT!!!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Because of Alan's neuropathy and the fact that he keeps moving his right leg (even during sleeping), he has banished himself to the living room. and I GET THE WHOLE BED TO MYSELF. And if you think I don't love that, you don't know me. Also he goes to sleep at 5 a.m. and gets up about 1 or so. The best is when he gets up at 4 p.m. and I serve him dinner for breakfast. But it works for us. He does't get leg cramps and I get them very rarely. Melody > > > > > Good. > > > > > > Let me know if it helps.
