Default Cramping in my legs

If I've had a active day these days,when I go to bed,the back of my legs start cramping,and I have to get up. This hurts allot. I also get nauseated sometimes. After the cramping of the back of a thigh,I'll go back to bed when it stops. Then sometimes the front of a thigh starts to cramp,and I have to get up again. It again hurts quit a bit. It makes me hop all around the room,followed by my groaning,and sometimes crying about it.

Does that sound like restless leg syndrome,or just leg spasms? BF

Default titrate the magnesium

i used to take sinemet for rls, now i just use life style changes. sinemet is a parkinsons drug.

the dose for magnesium should be adjusted as follows. take a calcium supplement in the eve, and magnesium in the am. start at lowest dose and increase it each day until stools get too loose, then back down to the previous days dose. do not take calcium and magnesium at the same time unless you are constipated.

rls for me is worse when sleeping on your back, so i sleep on my side. eat fruity stuff before noon. cut out sugar and refined white flour. wear natural cotton against your legs. fruits should be eaten raw, not cooked.
