Ok so I know all of use know what charlie horses are, especially those of us women who have children and had them at night while pregnant. and i know that charlie horses primarily stay in the leg area, but have any of you ever felt like you woke up one morning and your whole entire body had had a charlie horse while you sleeping and you didn't even know it?? this past saturday i woke up and the back of my knee on my right leg and the side of my calf on my right leg had the worst pain. it was as if i had a charlie horse but not knowing i had it. then the next morning when i got up to go to work my husband had to help me out of bed because i couldn't sand up on my own. the pain had moved from just my legs to my whole entire body. i still have the pain in my arms and hands and i can't open doors with just one hand anymore. so i'm thinking that charlie horses are going wild and just having their way with me. sorry this is long but if anyone else has had this please write back b/c i'm hoping that i'm not crazy.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
