Hi Dorrie:
The soap works for me (when I'm in the bed). But I should have been WEARING a bar of Ivory Soap last night as I was sitting in my chair watching The Biggest Loser with Alan. Now this may have something to do with my using my mini stair stepper for a while while I was watching The Biggest Loser.
But as I was sitting down the lower legs started to buzz and my toes were cramping and my feet were cramping. I looked over at Alan (who has had neuropathy for 20 years or so) and I said 'Do your feet hurt right now? and he said "melody my feet ALWAYS hurt". I felt so bad for him. He does have good (or better pain times as I call them), then others.
He then said "The barometer must be changing because I know what you mean".
I should have soaked my feet in epson salts. That works wonders.
But when I took my melatonin and went to bed (right over the soap), well no more spasms. To me, if this soap helps me sleep, then more power to it.
I am definitely going to try something new the next time I'm sitting and my feet start cramping. I'm going to take two bars and put them inside my socks.
I shall let you know if this stops the spasming.
Wouldn't THAT BE SOMETHING??
Melody
