Simple way to ease those horrible muscle cramps!

OWWW !!!


 Are you like me and suffer excruciating pain from cramp?

Then this post is for just you. I saw this picture and for some reason it reminded me of all those nights when I could not get to sleep, plagued by horrible muscle cramps!

Medical explanations are thick on the ground, everything from old age (this seems to be the favourite excuse for whatever ails me at the moment) to side effects from the Statins ( the medicine that apparently is keeping me alive since my heart attack two years ago).

There are also trivial excuses paraded for me to choose from, I sit too long at my desk, (don't know another way to write, sorry) to not enough exercise.

I do exercise as much as I'm able, but I have discovered that too much of it makes the cramps worse in the long run. I have also tried those little Magnesium Phosphate pills that you let dissolve under your tongue, and they did seem to work at first, but had to up the dose so much it was getting silly.

BUT THEN...

I read somewhere that Quinine was very good for cramps, but a dangerous thing to mess around with, especially at my age. I didn't care, I was getting pretty desperate. The cramps were getting so bad every time I moved, didn't matter what I was doing, and I was really fed up with being in knots all the time.
Then someone suggested tonic water. Apparently it has a small amount of quinine in it and was supposed to help get rid of the knots.
I checked with my doctor, and he just raised his eyebrows and said, 'Yes, that's good idea.'
Now if he knew all about it, why hadn't he mentioned it before?

AND THEN...

I found that Tesco had a bottle of tonic water with lemon, so I tried it...
I have a small glass of the stuff (it does taste horrible!) every morning, and I am pleased to announce...

IT WORKS!

It really does. Sometimes I still get very small twinges, but absolutely nothing like before. So if you suffer like I used to, PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY.

Not much works predictably on me, I am one of those stubborn people that drugs don't seem to work on. So I am delighted to be able to pass on this invaluable piece of information

There is so much that never seems to work, so I am thrilled to find something that does and just had to share it. Now all I need is to find something to make my brain work for longer than two seconds at a time, and I will have it made!

Best wishes!
