Hello friends. A question... Could cramp be caused by lack of salt? For the last couple of hours I've been getting cramp in my hands and toes. So I've got an oxo cube dissolved in boiling water to give me some salt. Does anybody have any ideas?
Well, I'd be happy to send you a sample, but I dread to think what sort of state the envelope would be in after 24 hours or so of TLC from Royal Mail!@debrasue - What you just described sounds yummy.Do you live far away from York? If so, could you send me some to sample in the post!!!
Oh YES - I can relate to the hand-locks and the waking-and-leg-stretching cramps! It's deeply upsetting, isn't it, especially when you're innocently (I assume) luxuriating in the early-morning s-t-r-e-e-e-e-t-c-h....... The dawn chorus in our house is frequently interrupted by the sound of me leaping out of bed and stamping around the bedroom, squeaking "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, owwwwww!!!!" (which doesn't help in the slightest, and only serves to infuriate the other half if he's still comatose).@mo53 I get cramps quite a lot and not been able to pin them down to anything... often when I wake up and stretch my legs out... other times it wakes me up and I is in agony........ being LCHF I drink quite a lot and peedle quite a lot and wonder if I washing my salts away, so I tend to cover my greens with salt, pepper and butter...
Hands in not good. Mine sometime "lock" if I do something repetitive... and I really don't want to go where that might be going.
I'm liking the sounds of the Oxo cube treatment.
Wish you well.
Thanks, @liam1955! Yes, I joined the forum a month ago as a Newbie T2 and I've been surfing across the various threads ever since. This one sounds just PERFECT, so I'm very glad I've landed on here now.@debrasue - Welcome, but I seem to remember welcoming you not so long ago? You've come to the right thread if you want a mixture of Humour, Advice, Support, to have a rant/moan, to be serious = it's all here.
I get alot of ache feet at night. I'm going to try oxo. The cold kitchen floor when I forget my slippers used to get the blame. Poor floor! Ha haHi, @mo53! I have a tendency to cramp in my feet too, particularly when I go to bed. For me, it seems to be caused by dehydration (because I forget to drink enough during the day) and lack of movement if I've spent a lot of time at my desk, but I also find if I drink an Oxo cube in a mug of hot water about an hour before I go to bed I don't get cramp so often, so I think it's certainly salt-related.
Think I'm coming down with the cold...arrgh ! Apart from that fine.Hi @eddie1968 - Snap, it's the same weather here in York, but started off nice. How are you keeping?
