Thanks Cindy. Yes, I'm taking supplements. I was sleeping fine until those damn leg cramps pulled me out of dreamland. Actually, it was only my left leg and it was a cramp in a place that's hard to get rid of, on top of the foot and ankle.

Sosad,

You are doing so great getting through the hell of withdrawal and onto feel good sobriety! I am proud of you!

What a great thread you have too should you ever need a reminder down the road.

Keeping hanging in there, all this will pass and you will come out of it beautifully!

Hi Sosad,
Thanks for mentioning the leg cramps. I'm being plagued by them. The kids must think I've got a hell of a love live with the shouting and screaming coming from our bedroom....... but it's 'cos I've got blessed leg cramps.
Love Jackie xxx

Thank you Mstall. Jackie, I know what you mean; it's awful to wake up from a deep sleep with a cramp that won't go away. Lol on the love life and screaming.

Keep some bananas on hand - they are high in potassium, which we alkies tend to be deficient in. Have a banana just before bedtime and see if it helps!

Good going - you can be proud of how well you've done so far!

Thanks! Yes, bananas are a good idea. Last time I detoxed 15 years ago my doctor told me to eat bananas because my potassium level was so low.

Great job SS! I hope the leg cramps get better! I'm on day 5. I don't feel like doing cartwheels yet! But, I feel better than I did 5 days ago. Have a great day everyone!

Same here DW. I'm in NO condition to do any cartwheels, and am still suffering minor withdrawal symptoms such as weak legs and an occasional tremor, but 4 days ago I was an utter mess and looked the part as well.

Sosad, I have had leg cramps for a couple of years and I too get them on top of my foot and under my foot and on the side of my foot! They are agonizing and they definitely get you up out of bed. I sometimes walk around the bedroom. Bananas do help so try to keep them around. And good luck to you. On Day 4 you have passed the worst.

Gotten them on the side of my foot as well. You can't get rid of them other than walking around and screaming in pain. If I get a cramp in my calf I just stand up and put weight on the ball of my foot and it pulls it out, but there is literally no way to get rid of the ones in the side of the foot especially.
