I've suffered from awful leg cramps since
I was a little kid. I remember my mom
massaging my legs when I was only about 6
years old or so. As I got older, I
started taking advil for them. It was the
only thing that seemed to work - so I've
basically been popping advil like skittles
for years! I wonder if this is related to
hypoglycemia? I looked at all of the pain
relivers such as tylenol, advil, excedrine
migraine, motrin, etc. and advil contains
sucrose, or sugar. It appears that none of
the other pain relievers do. I wonder if
this is why it is helpful to me? It is
also the only pain reliever that can get
rid of my headaches.
Thanks in advance!

Try taking turmeric capsules on a regular
basis. But yes, this is caused by
hypoglycemia. The sugar imbalance causes
fluctuations in your calcium and magnesium
levels, might want to look into getting a
good, vegan (I say this because they're
the most pure) tablet to fix that.

Thanks for the quick response! I thought
your diet said to stay away from tumeric?
What is a vegan? You say it's the most
pure tablet. If I could stop my leg
cramps, that would be a miracle!

No, why do people think this, I say it's a
POSSIBLE food to avoid, not that you need
to. Vegan is a lifestyle that avoids all
animal products. All of their products
tend to be very pure, organic and such. I
buy my tablets from a local health food
store and they're free of all the
additives you find in regular tablets.
That's why I recommend vegan type tablets
(not a brand, but it will say on there
vegetarian or vegan). I had some cramping
problems early on that this fixed real
quick.
