Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 That's a good idea too. I am REALLY bad about taking daily medication of any kind. Although leg cramps (and constipation..how embarrassing) have been major incentives not to forget. I did go immediately after work yesterday and get some potassium gluconate. My legs cramps subsided within an hour or two and haven't came back. Another odd thing is that I was a little dizzy and light headed feeling yesterday too and that went away with the cramps.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 Barbie, Potassium in one form or another will have an immediate impact on muscle cramping in the legs. I prefer to take one supplement a day, others prefer to use light salt or eat veggies high in potassium. However you decide to get your potassium, please know that it will help really, really fast.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 Be careful taking potassium if you are on any type of hormone medication (and maybe some other kinds of meds). The one I'm on causes my body to hold on to potassium, so I'm not allowed to add potassium in any form to my diet. If I added potassium, I would risk liver disease. dawn > >Reply-To: Atkins_Support_Listegroups >To: " 'Atkins_Support_Listegroups' " <Atkins_Support_Listegroups> >Subject: RE: leg cramping >Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 13:41:15 -0600 > >Barbie, > >Potassium in one form or another will have an immediate impact on muscle >cramping in the legs.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 Dawn, what type of hormone medication are you on? I take premarin and potassium also. Is that not good? Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
