Cll Leukemia (leg cramps)

[helenolton]

Hi Everyone,

First time using this post. I have leg cramps every night, is this a side effect of having Cll Leukemia.

I have not started any treatment at this time. My White Blood Count is 62,000.00.

Thanks

I have leg cramps sometimes . I am on watch and wait. My lymp nodes are also causing me discomfort in my abdominal area. Not sure if the leg cramps are a symptom of CLL but I know the swollen lymp nodes are. : (

Best wishes,

BC

Hi, I get cramps in my feet, especially toes, and sometimes legs, mostly at night. It seems to be more prevalent in cold weather, and is helped by keeping my feet quite warm, wearing socks to bed. If I get a cramp, I get out of bed and put my foot in hot water. I couldn't figure out why I started to get these cramps, then saw that someone posted on a CLL site that they had them and others responded that they did also. Hope that helps.

Hi Helen,

I was diagnosed in 2011 and still on watch and wait. Doing pretty well except for intermittent fatigue and lack of mental energy, hard to get motivated to do anything. I'm going to try to find a support group. Where are you located? I live in Orlando.

I would really love it if there was a CLL support group. I live in Crown Point, IN. We are miles away from each other, how sad. I am working full time. I was fatigue the last 2 years but I am juicing , exercising , staying away from sweets, and taking unsulphered black strap molasses and I do not have the fatigue like I used too. I am always looking on you tube for ways to strengthen my immune system.
