I suffer from terrible cramp in toes, yes I do drink tonic water to try and help.

Yesterday morning I woke with excruciating cramp, swung feet out of bed and peered at left extremity.
Wait for it............





toes were stuck in the position for............


Star Treks..........







live long and prosper sign!!!!!!!


If it hadn't been so bloody painful it would have been quite funny.

OMG God Sue. Sorry, but pmsl laughing at the state of your toes.

I can get it when I'm walking, and it's bl@@dy sore.
How's you doing?

Just dont get it in your posh crutch Sue
Its very painful
I used to get it when swimming,so know how it feels

was going to give you lots of sympathy and say it was no laughing matter.....then when I read the whole thing......I had to laugh.

***hangs head in shame***

Ok Vicky ta, will email you when I get brain into gear darling cos I am sure I owe you one :-))

xx

I only laughed at your description SueM.........lol

I've had that happen in the past and it would be awesome if it wasn't SO painful..................lol

Wait with baited breath Sue!!

Wasn't laughing at you having cramp, just the description of your toes.

Do you wear socks in bed??
Keep a cold plate at the side of the bed.

lol sue I also get cramp in my toes and am often found in the wee hours pressing my foot against the the wall!

2 things that bring my cramps on are:

1) Lack of salt - I have a fairly salt free diet but need the odd bag of crisps to prevent the cramp.

2) Cold, I dont know about you but we dont have a duvet on at the mo, havent for months, if you get cramp and feet are cold once you have managed to releive it try putting some socks on and go back to sleep- your feet may be cold if your blood dosent circulate so well.

3) not an option if its a cuddly eve lol

Awww cramp is awful aint it Spock err I mean Sue lol

Marion xxx

Rosie...me too lol *screaming abdabs*

OUCH

Suffer from it loads Flower.........must be a LIsbonian thing *winks* lolxx

*winks* at Muffy lol.... a friend recommended tonic water as the quinine helps if really bad Crampex helps...


*coughs* Muffy n Rose....no gin with the tonic ! ....lol..;)p

Did someone mention a Gin and tonic? Ill be there with an ice and a slice is that a Bombay or a Plymouth?

I know how painful it can be. I used to be able to buy cramp tablets from the chemist, but last time I tried, they wanted a prescription - so I got one next time I saw the Doc.

Haven't had them for ages - yes, my toes spread out like those of a duck!
This week had them in the calf muscles. Jumped out of bed and did the Highland Fling!

What's a cramp tablet, Berona?? I want them!!

Mine go through stages. One week, it's my outside toes trying to detach themselves from my foot. Then my big toe tries, starting way up in the arch. Some of the most fun ones recently have been when the top of my foot decides to try to rip itself off from the rest.

I'm taking my multivitamins and bananas to try to get the potassium levels up because of the BP meds depleting it ... and that isnt helping.

Never happens at the office. Never. Not once ever. Only when I'm having dinner, watching tv ...

I do know that one thing that makes it worse is not enough sleep, if that helps anybody.

I want me some cramp tablets!

Marion are you definately absolutely sure it doesn't work with gin? lolxx

LOL dont larf but at times I used to get a cramp in my right foot, sometimes when I am doing the pedal to the metal!!

and other times my fingers get stuck.......and dont want to work for a couple of minutes........

Bob
