".....Curiouser & Curiouser....." said Alice
I stopped smoking Aug 1st and stopped the Chantix at 12 weeks.
I am at the 6 month mark as of Jan 1st.
But it could be a combination of the factors as Mrs D has pointed out.
It has taken 3 days for the soreness to abate and I feel almost (uh...) 'normal'
(whatever that is) today.
No instances of cramps have happened since the Jan 1st a.m. episode, but its only been a few days. I think I'll look into a magnesium supplement. I was browsing iHerb and found a 'Country Life' 600mg 'Magnesium,Potassium Aspartate' but it says (as magnesium aspartate,oxide,citrate,taurinate, alpha-ketoglutarate) ---- WHEW !!
Mrs D said to stay away from oxide, but how can this item be all of those things?
There are a lot of different types available.
Anyone know the best form and the dosage. The Mag % DV is.... 400mg=100% DV.
Is 100% enough? Or mega doses to help the leg cramping? I'm in the dark, here.
