interesting, i have never heard that but im def open to try it!
thanks for the tip and im glad its working for your hubby :)

Thank you! I like coconut oil. I never knew coconut water existed. I will try the drink. Thanks for the tip. I am glad your husband is seeing some improvement too!

It's very good for hydration but I just can't choke it down. I am not a fan of coconut unfortunately.

Meow,

Has your hubby had an iron test lately? My legs/calves started aching really bad at night, and I thought it was low magnesium, then low vitamin d, then low potassium, then diabetic neuropothy. Turns out, it was anemia. I'm now getting a series of iron infusions, and taking a daily dose of iron elixir. The leg cramps have stopped, and doc says my iron number should be okay soon.

Purr,

Hi Buttercup. All of us taking Meds like Imuran, MTX, Cellcept should be have lab work done every two months at the very least. These tests should always include a full blood cout so anaemia should be picked up straight away and never become a problem. Hope you feel better soon. Those of us on prednisone should also have regular testing. My doctor will not prescribe the Meds unless the lab work has been done and he has read it. My muscles hurt when I am dehydrated so have pushed up the ammount of water I drink in a day. I know coconut water is great for rehydration but the taste is not good. Maybe mix it with half coconut water and half cranberry. Autumm

I agree, it is not the best tasting stuff out there! You would think it would be sweeter... but it kinda taste like stale water! But, he does it to make him feel better! He would try anything to keep from taking another pill! Yes, he has bloodwork once a month after he does his IVIG, normal levels as far as iron and vit d.... just tightness all over. We just bough a different brand of coconut water.. maybe this will be better! FX

Hi PMCK. Do hope it tastes better. Anything which helps is good. Autumm

thanks for the tip! my feet have been having charlie horse cramps really bad lately! i'm not sure why and i assumed it was related to DM. i will have to try coconut water. i know i won't like the taste so i'll try making smoothies with it. i've done that before and it was delicious!

Ohhh, smoothies sound good! I will have to try that!
