Good advice
 

That has been my dread, and a reason also why I just turn it down for sleep, leaving it on 24/7. Yep!

I actually have to turn my lumbar one up a little for sleep, otherwise I wake up with bad charlie horses and a really tight back. I go in on Thurs. for my next reprogramming. Funny how we're all different and have different needs from our units. The "twins" said to say "hey" to "PJ":D

Excuse my ignorance but what are 'bad charlie horses':confused::confused:


I have mine up high during the day, or at least as much as I can bear at times:eek: and then at night as I sleep on my back all the time I have to turn it down because otherwise Im hitting the ceiling:D

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charley_horse,

Doesn't only have to be in the leg, but that is where a lot of people get them. I get them in my calf area when I am lacking in potassium.

PJ says Hey Twins!!
 

And a hearty howdy do to the twins. Yes, even as every human organism is different, I would imagine we each find different needs with our stim. Sure grateful for mine. Howdy TWINS! I treat my pet human pretty well so far. He is getting used to me and my demands.:D

And Diarrhea can be a BIG cause,,,,,, oh yeah
 

Sarah is so right, cramp up tightly surprisingly, and I have done this many a time with the aftermath of the withdrawal diarrhea. Hate it, just hate it, especially when it makes me cringe out of bed with the cramp in the morning because it won't let up and my electrolytes have probably suffered along with potassium levels. Now, it is a banana with my live culture yogurt.
Yep,
Mark56 and PJ:o

GOTCHA :)

THats a new one on me Charlie Horses :D But I know exactly what you mean. I am like a monkey though, I eat bananas like there is no tomorrow;) but I do occasionally suffer with cramps in my legs. Great potassium in them der bananas:D

My charlie horses hit me in the calf muscles of my legs. They can wake me up they hurt so bad and I have to get up and walk around until they eventually loosen up. I hate them:mad::mad:

Fiona :hug: THats sounds so painful alright. No wonder you would have to get up and walk around. I have had a few occasionally and they certainly are not nice. And then you have to put up with the pain in your calf muscle the next day due to the cramp:rolleyes:
