Mrs D is the one who taught me about this all. But take some calcium that also include the Vit D AND Magnesium. I've found it helps the cramping immensely, AND IF you are approaching that deliteful "M" You also have to get checked out with a full thyroid panel... Once the hormones quit? Lots of thyroid things tend to happen. But thyroid is easily treated without damage IF it's detected in time. Besides you are still gonna need a calcium boost from now on. Why do you think there are all those 'ads' on TV for supplements?
If you are put on thyroid meds? Don't chomp them down in the AM with your calcium pills tho... I learned that the hard way. Gotta take them about/least an hour apart.
BTW? I'm well past menopause? But the last few years I've been on cancer meds that keep whatever estrogens I've left from working [theory is the cancers feed on the 'e's]. Had BC, and it's not back yet! Believe me, Once I started on this stuffs I started to get night sweats squared all over again! Don't automatically suspect the big 'C' tho! That's what annual check ups are for! Got my cancer early on and I thank those check ups every day!
BTW? Thyroid depletions can and do cause some neuropathies, so, ask if it can be checked out. Try the calcium combos and don't forget the B-12! Both are really useful in the long run, tho you mite not 'feel' anything rite away. Get tests and ask questions! Learn and be your own advocate! 's - j
