I gave my mom 1/2 tsp of potassium last night and she still had the late morning leg cramps, so I was wrong.
I will try b6 tonight to see if that stops them for her because the salt doesn't them for her like it does for me.
Otherwise, she may still be anemic.
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 1,979,439I have stopped leg cramps with a teaspoon of mustard.
I have also eliminated cramps with magnesium supplements.
Lots of info here:

That is a big listing.
However, we still don't know if my mom's anemia is under control and am thinking that it could be iron related.
She drinks milk, buttermilk and eats cheese, so I don't think it is a calcium issue.
I thought it was a potassium issue because of her heat intolerance and use of inhalers that push out potassium, but this doesn't seem to be the case, now.
She hates things salty and avoids it and this makes sense due to her heat intolerance.
The iodine is helping but she needs to do at least 50mg for 3 months and it has only been 2 months off and on.
I will try the magnesium if the b6 doesn't work and then, maybe the iron if those don't work.
Thanks,
Paraboy

This is a reply to # 1,979,449Problems with updating to soon is that something a supplement work for just a short time, like days or a couple of weeks.
Been there loads of times.
Learned by doing that 2-3 months is more correct when to say if a supplement work or not.
For leg cramps, my son used to have loads, (growing pains are in the same family)
magnesium and borax. Never failed me / us. borax is a type of sodium, may help her.
Sometimes one need to do a different magnesium,or higher dosages. Magnesium chloride is an option.- Re: UserX

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,979,462Back at the old house, when my lovely Josette had leg cramps and thrombophlebitis, I supplemented her with Chlorella and V-water, and rubbed magnesium oil all over her back and shoulders. 70% decrease in pain the day after, and was gone the second day. People don't realize how low on Mg they are. Most overlook the fact that common bar soap will complex with the Ca and Mg from the skin, so the body sends more there. Compounded over time, every day, soap up the skin, and you can have chronic Mg deficiency. Answer is to use a non-ionic surfactant as soap.

This is a reply to # 1,979,462Hi Gina,
The potassium wasn't helping, but my mom is a really bad patient and doesn't tell me everything.
All this time I thought it was resolving the leg cramps, but she failed to tell me she was still having them...sigh
Being the observor just doesn't work.
She does take magnesium and borax, but not regular enough to figure it out.
I'm hoping she is no longer anemic because that can cause it too.
Thanks,

-yes high enough dosages daily over a longer period, lets say 1-2 months may do the trick
Magnesium was the most difficult supplement for me to find out of. I believe the levels wasnt good until my digestion was good. And that happened when my hypo T was cured. I now supplement it every time I take vit C; 3-4 times a day. Taking supplements are one thing. Digesting and utilizing them is a different story.

This is a reply to # 1,979,815Hey, Ginagirl
How did you resolve your hypo T?
There's more than enough reason to suspect I'm dealing with adrenal fatigue and hypoT ... low basal temps and crappy metabolism.....
Though my main issue was candida but, now see it as a symptom of other causes.. it's just cleaning up the mess from something else.
Also, I have a hyper histamine reaction - probably from mycotoxins. A small mosquito bite immediately turns into a huge red hive like itchy bump. Had a similar reaction with the TB skin test years ago and the dr said I had intestinal TB based on the positive test result (xrays showed no TB ever in my lungs). Only recently have I discovered mycosis or rather mycotoxins will give a false positive to a TB skin test. d'oh....and he treated me for 6 months with the 4 TB Antibiotics back then...no wonder they made me worse! All the mis dx's have really harmed me through the years I have been battling whatever is going on: most likely candida but, what caused it is what I'm trying to treat now.- Re: Potassium not helping leg cramps...

This is a reply to # 1,981,354Hi; my hypo T was resolved by Iodine & company. Much better within a year. More issues done year two and three. A few health issues left, I can live well with them.
I believe you are into something with your searching for other causes than candida. Have you started borax yet? good for myco toxins and candida.
TB; Iodine should take care of it if taken in high enough doses + loads of vit C. Magnesium is important, due to the scarring that may have a calcium component.
In worst case you can check out tuberculinum; a homeopathic remedy made of the TB bacteria. If the picture fits that could help you further. Best thing is to see a homeopath on this.

(look up the Mental symptom features, and Generals and Particulars symptom features in the article)
Antibiotics like you have done is typically a playground for mycotoxins and candida. Thats what started my 20 year of health problems / candida etc.Advertisement
