Could you share the medications your on and members can share their experiences to help you.Suffer from restless leg and cramps
So happy to see that you found a solution to your nocturnal lag cramps - one cannot over-exagerate just how painful they are especially if in both legs at the same time hips down to feet - can actually cause a state of unconsciousness! BUT I DO HOPE THAT THE DOCTOR WHO TOLD YOU TO TAKE QUININE SULPHATE DID SO MANY YEARS AGO. IF NOT, HE SHOULD BE DISBARRED. THE FDA TOOK QUNININE OFF OVER THE COUNTER SALES SOME 8-10 YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT FOUND THAT 90 DEATHS OF LONG-TERM USERS OF QUNINE FOR LEG CRAMPS (like myself) HAD DEFINITVELY DIED AS A RESULT. For those readers who are still suffering - keep a phial of granular salt by the bed and, at the onset of a cramp condition, wet one's finder and dip it into the salt and place upon the tongue. If taken quickly enough the symptoms should disperse within 3-5 minutes. There is a product that DOES work for the most serious cases it is called STOP LEG & FOOT CRAMPS IN ABOUT ONE MINUTE. It is a Caleb Treeze Organic Farm product (USA). It tastes foul (for me) but can stop the most evil of cramps in just over 3 minutes. It obvious contains pickle juice if that is of help. A good soul on this Forum helped me a good number of years ago telling me that she used Magnesium Citrate tabs - they have certainly prevented me from needing the Caleb product. The best version is by NOW Supplements but, again for me, unfortunately not available in Asia but the USA and UK.Used to get chronic cramps all night and both legs. Crippling.
Spoke to dr. Was advised to take prescribed quinine.. dreadful side effects. Then I tried magnesium capsules. I take taurate version of magnesium. Cramps gone.
I did also ask Gp for Doppler scan of legs and that proved ok.
Not a problem since supplementary magnesium. The pain all night previously was horrendous from the minute I laid down to the minute I got up. Horrendous.
