Off to hospital....need lots of hugs and healing.

Good morning every one I am off to the hospital to have my pressure bandages on to help with my very heavy swollen legs!

Three weeks ago I had some water tablets as I was bloated from my face to my feet, and Dr was shocked in 9 days I lost a stone ,and peed for England :-)

The only problem was my muscles kept going into spazm due to lack of Magnesium I was told. It is apparently really good for muscles so I am going to try a liquid form.....

Anyway must trot or I will be late 80 mile round trip....great!

Gentle hugs

Rainbow ((((((((((((((((((( ;-) ))))))))))))))))))))))))

Bananas also help with cramps and muscle spasms if you wash your magnesium down with one that should also help ... That's great the water tablets helped so much.... You must compare legs with Gins she's having amazing results with compression bandages on her legs ... We won't recognise either of you in a few months..... When you are both flashing your lovely legs again

Hope you feel better after your bandaging, Rainbow - others have reported great results, so hopefully you will soon be 'Miss Lovely Legs' again! :)

Take care,

Back from the hospital they decided after me getting up at 6 (usually just dropping off by then lol ) that they were going to leave it for another week! Then said No what we can do is try half of your right leg and see how you go.

Of course my left leg was well down as it was only 9 o/clock, but now it is huge and my right leg is only to the knee. reason being I need steroid inj: in my knee's and to have them bandaged she thought my mobility would be worse. She said I have enough mobility problems to cope with for the time being!

She also said I needed to see my Dr asap as my muscle spazms in my head and most of my body was a bit of a worry. Called at dr's and he will see me tomorrow (result !) ;-)

Thankyou all for your support sorry I cant answer all of you personally but am too tired now.

Rainbow Hugs to you all....and Watch this space for fab-u-lo-so legs x :-)
