needing some help

[Suzy_Q74]

Hi All! I am writing to see what you can do for the pains in your legs. I went cold turkey yesterday, and I had a very bad night. I even thought I was seeing things, and I was talking to my kids, and they was'nt even there. That scares me to death. I alredy did all this once before, and made it 2 mths with out anything, until Dec. 1 2007 I thought I had messed my back up, when in fact I didnt, It was found that I had Osteoarthropathy in my spine. This turned out to be very paiful at times, and hard to deal with. My Dr. put me right back on the things I fought so hard to stay away from, but it was too strong, I did it. I know I can do it again, I'm just very scared because of the Arthritis. Can anyone give me some healing words, and things I can do? God Bless You All !

Bananas are loaded with potassium and they help to counteract the runs.

I ate bananas and take one a day vitamins, seemed to help some. Hot baths hot baths. Helped a lot. Potassium helps also, be careful with those read the label. Good luck and stay positive.

Some people are having good results with something from the health store for rls. Also 'Natural Calm" with calcium. That and eat lots of bananas. These all will give you magnesium, calcium and potassium. All are good to help relax muscles. Walking helps to release toxins in the legs too. Drink lots of water and Gatorade.

I feel your pain!  My legsw are killing me, I suggest long hot baths with Epsom Salts.  You will get through this like you did the last time.  Just be patient and take it 1 hour at a time.
