Hello everyone-

Does anybody get or has had charlie horses in the legs? Why does this happen? Anyone?

Could be a deficiency in potassium, calcium,magnesium, or sodium. Dehydration can also cause cramping.

I get those too and Dr. Potts told me the same thing as what the last person said. So I decided to eat a banana a day for a week and up my water because I knew I was lacking enough water.

what marie suggested... vitamin deficiency. Call the doc and or your pcp and tell them you like to have some labs drawn, especially request B12, B1 and Beta Carotene.... many of us have been needing supplements of these vitamins....

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
