9 weeks 2 periods... no cramps.

I am cramping a lot more than I did before I started Iodine. But my periods are only 3-4 days. I figure I my breasts are getting rid of the FBD and that pain is almost completely gone, so I can put up with a few days of bad cramping:)

I have just started using Red Rasberry Leaf tea for the last couple of days, and it has helped a lot with the cramping. The problem is you have to drink a cup every couple of hours and that is hard to do at night, so I keep waking up with cramps.

I never got cramps from my TOM until my late 30's.

In the past and most of my adult life (except early on) I would experience excruciating leg cramps. From my hip all the way to my feet. I ultimately discovered that primrose oil worked for me, yet quinine seems to work for my mother (leg cramps unrelated to menstuation of course). Wake you up with charlie horses in both legs in the middle of the night kind of cramps.

A bit over a year ago I completely lost my periods due to what we assumed was weight loss - but still tons of leg cramps. Day 2 or three of Lugols, my period returned. It's been like clockwork ever since.

The cramps - Gone. g - o - n - e , adios amigo gone, since the iodine. 7 months. Less than 50mgs a day satisfied that, but I'm still on higher levels than 50 at this point. Might drop back down due to no noticable anything (good or bad) at least on a daily basis/observable level at high doses (over 200).

I accredit Lugols to relieving cramping which disrupted a couple days a month all of my life, and spasms/cramps (feet included) which plagued me otherwise for the past year plus.

Go I o.
