lol..its not funny but you put it out there as funny..i have it bad too..in every muscle you have..my hands,fingers,arms,chest,belly,back,legs,calfs,toes,feet,throat..you get the picture..lol...i cant even write or dry my hair w-out my fingers cramping getting stuck..i have to massage them and bend them till it stops...then back to what im doing,then bam..its back..its all very disturbing

im on soma and valium..doesnt help much cause its still happining..sometimes when my legs do it,it feels like they will break!!!!!!!!!i have to walk with my walker around the house to walk them out and it hurts like crap.....i get massage therapy once a week and the charely horses happen while she is doing it...she presses on the area and it stops it...

baclophen almost killed me,im allergic to it big time!!!!!

idk know what will stop them..im with you on this one!!!!its bull!!!!!

we gotta figure out a way to stop them from coming...one thing i did was start taking potassium....you could try that....

sorry you are suffering so Rican. Also, while potassium has been recommended, have you thought of trying around 600-1000 mg. magnesium for your leg cramps? alot of people here take magnesium for spascity. An added benefit is that it works on your bowels too, helps keep them loose. Magnesium doesn't do squat for me for the legs, but it does keep me regular. For that reason alone I continue on with it.

Many (((((Hugs))))) go out to you today.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
