Anyone Want a Bar of Soap and Some D words?

Sunday, September 23, 2012

On my last blog, I talked about putting a bar of soap under the bottom sheet to help get rid of leg cramps.

Last night was my 6th night of having the bar of Dove soap under my bottom sheet.

I had to jump out of bed 3 times last night, when I was having leg cramps and 1 time when I was having feet cramps in both feet. (NOT FAIR).

I will tell you right now, I was ready to throw that bar of soap across the room. I wanted to take that bar of soap outside, under my carport, throw it to the cement and stomp the crud out of it.

I was:
Disillusioned
Disappointed
Disheartened
& Distressed.

My calf muscles are so sore this morning. I will say this, even though I did have leg cramps, they weren't as severe as I have had in the past. Mind you, they weren't exactly a walk in the park, but they weren't as severe as I have had. So maybe I am not giving up my bar of soap yet. LOL emoticon


Still hoping someone will come up with a better or different solution. Please let me know if you have your own solution.

Blessings,

  I sometimes get terrible leg cramps. I went to a health store and the clerk told me to take magnesium. I have been taking it and it works. As long as I take it every day I don't get leg cramps at all. Hope that helps.

    I had to laugh at the bar of soap! Never heard of that one! I get leg and foot cramps if I don't wear socks to bed. I can take them off if I wake up in the middle of the night with no problems, but I don't dare go to bed without the socks. Good luck!

    I am having trouble with my legs, too. I do better if I wear socks to bed.

    I wonder what is in a bar of soap that is supposed to make cramps not occur?
