Cramp

[Lyngal]

Hi all in the middle of another course of prep last one over Christmas starting to feel a bit better apart from have a cough that won't go. Does anyone suffer from cramming in fingers and toes when on steroids my fingers and toes seem to lock and are really painful until I put the into the right position thanks

I go through periods where I suffer very bad cramps. I'm not so bad at the moment but a couple of years ago I went through a phase where I was frequently waking up in the night to find my big toes locked pointing upwards! I've no idea of the cause but I guess it probably has some connection with oxygen flow.

Hi I have never had that when on steroids. I do suffer with the lows badly though when I have finished them. x

Yes. All the time, and all over my body. Toes, fingers, hands, chest, back, you name it. Better now since my symbicort was reduced to 4 puffs daily from eight. I eat a banana most days, and almonds to counteract it, and my belief is that it has helped.
