Tish's post reminds me to remind everyone that you need to be on

good supplements, especially high potency B-vitamins. Your need for

them increases with hypothyroid, JUST AS it increases as you improve

your health and metabolism with natural thyroid.

Additionally, there may be absorption problems that remain even with

good treatment.

I have noted a huge increase in my nighttime leg cramps, and I am

suspecting that I am not getting enough magnesium in what I eat. I

also am one who HAS to be on daily iron, otherwise my levels drop

drastically.

There is a good supplement list in the FILES section. We should all

take heed.

For leg cramps or other muscle spasms, etc. it's good to take an epsom salt

(magnesium) tub soak before bedtime or late in the evening. The skin is an organ

so it ingests nutrients too through the pores. A hot bath opens the pores & the

magnesium in the epsom salts gets ingested into the body all over at once that

way.

I take lots of hot epsom salts baths during the winter when my symptoms are at

their worst. I also take a liquid calcium-magnesium-vitamin D-phosphorous

formula on an empty stomach before I go to sleep. It's been good for me.

I haven't needed a chiropractic adjustment since taking that nightly formula.

When I wasn't doing it before my chiropractor told me to, the muscle

spasms/cramps in my body would pull my spine out of alignment so bad that the

joints in my shoulders, arms, fingers, legs & toes would all go out of alignment

too & I'd be in horrible pain & agony.

The first time I used the formula at night on an empty stomach, it greatly

lessened. After the 2nd dose the 2nd night, the next morning all my pain from

muscle cramping that way stopped & hasn't come back.

Except in my low back where it's chronic & not much can help that mess. Or when

I overdo physically that creates muscle spasms which is normal for everyone due

to lactic acid in the muscles from the physical acitivity. The calcium/magnesium

formula & epsom salts magnesium balances out the over-acid effect.
