Avatar n tn The leg part sucks! I used over the counter drug called quinine leg cramps with club soda or water. I was so desperate I asked the pharmacists, I told him the truth and he says he swears it works good. It did, might as well try it. Any drug store has at least two-three brands at about $3-7. Hang in there! I have been in your shoes. Your in my prayers!!!
2059648 tn?1439766665 I looked up leg cramps and club soda and found some really interesting results. This is a two part question. Can something as simple as drinking a club soda help leg cramps? If I does .....than why?
Avatar f tn Anyone have any remedies for late night leg cramps!?!? I have a body pillow but that seems to bring no comfort.
Avatar f tn Diet and decaf are the worse no matter if you're pregnant or not. I like fizzy drinks so it doesn't have to be soda. Maybe find a different alternative?
Avatar f tn Thanks. I just wanted one diet root beer because I am dying for root beer lol.
Avatar f tn Ok, so I cut regular soda out of my diet. I normally drink water, diet can iced tea (or fresh) and seltzer. Now my question is.... is diet soda OK in moderation? Like when me and my bf go to a mall, water gets so boring and the fast food places generally never have seltzer water. So therefore I'm forced with diet soda (YUCK). Is it ok just on the weekends? I mean I guess I'm doing something right, I've lost 30.5bs since 9/14 (not even 3 months yet) and still have another 12.
1536593 tn?1292557199 I get severe head aches when I drink Diet Soda, off brand or not, could it be an intolerance to the artificial sweetener or an allergy?
Avatar f tn What is everyone's thoughts on drinking diet soda? I know they say to stay away from artificial sugars, but I've been drinking diet soda forever & I'm having a hard time giving it up. Is one a day bad?
Avatar m tn Knock on wood Kim,had my club soda and no leg cramps last night-thank goodness,its like the grim reaper of legs comes to join me.Guess I better get a case of club soda at shop rite.
Avatar n tn Make sure you are getting plenty of water throughout the day. I notice I tend to get leg cramps when I may be slightly dehydrated. Also, do a few leg stretches before going to bed.
4029710 tn?1349316380 I have no idea how come this works but I have gotten the worst leg cramps since the very beginning (im now 38 weeks 4 days) and this is the only way to stop them. Also add more magnesium and potassium rich foods to your diet.
Avatar f tn As a result, I drank a lot of water, diet soda and juice. This caused me to flush out all of the vitamins and minerals of my body. I am reallllly low on just about everything. Just started suplements and a big daily dose of magnesium as suggested by my nutritionist. Since I've eaten very low carbs and kept my sugar lower in addition to the supplements, the cramps are gone.
Avatar m tn Been having some strange muscle aches over the last few days, mostly in my left leg but some in my left arm as well along with hand cramps rare hand cramps and an occasional painless muscle spasm. The leg ache becomes most noticeable when sitting down, which makes me think I'm compressing a nerve maybe when sitting down. occasionally I'll feel what feels like heat in a small part of my leg (like a part small enough to pinch with two fingers).
Avatar f tn I wouldn't drink any. Soda and diet soda is bad for you whether you are pregnant or not.
Avatar f tn I have had leg cramps for years. When I am in a flare they tell me its spasticity and spasms. When I'm not in a flare they tell me that it is restless leg syndrome since it mostly happens at night. I have taken neurontin for it but now take requip. They both seem to help a little. I have also been on the muscle relaxers baclofen and zanaflex, but neither seemed to make much of a difference.
4408078 tn?1358058398 I find it hard to sleep at night, for acid reflux I eat fruit tingles, about 1/2 a packet, the bicarbonate soda in them help calm it for leg cramps I sleep with a pillow between my knees and it seems to help. Which just leaves the sleeplessness which is caused by not being able to get comfortable.
Avatar n tn The reason for these changes was to try to find a product that does not cause so much muscle cramps.This I decided I had enough. Craps in leg and foot musles have become unbearable. Can you suggest a remidy to avoid incresing my chol level again.
317217 tn?1456286778 t my first rodeo, this one is my 4th but never before have I suffered with leg cramps. They wake me at night, my legs ache all day, I have cramps literally whenever they feel like it. I'm nearly 32 wks anyone else suffered with these. They're getting annoying.
Avatar f tn If it is not diet soda, that is one heck of a sugar load. I think it is the equivalent to 12 teaspoons of sugar in a 12-ounce can. And unfortunately, if it is diet soda, it is loaded with chemicals. Hate to say it because the sugar gives you a higher diabetes risk and a higher risk that your child will later on develop diabetes, and the chemicals are just nasty for you. Can you taper off by cutting the soda in half with sparkling water?
Avatar f tn The FDA banned quinine from use against leg cramps because sensitive people may develop a potentially deadly blood disorder in reaction to quinine. this complication is rare, it is extremely serious. One person was hospitalized after drinking a 5-ounce glass of tonic water. They developed a terrible skin reaction and her blood platelets plummeted. She was told that in her case even a drop could be lethal.
