Have you tested your potassium levels and other vits. And minerals I would ask for a blood test to eliminate other deficiencies.
Thank you for replying , Nackapan.
I'm already taking centrum multivitamin multimineral. and methyl folate 400 mg.
You think ideally I shouldn't be getting any cramps if my potassium levels are adequate?
It was just a thought. Magnesium ,potassium. dehydration and lack of circulation can be causes.
Obviously there are many more causes that a doctor should check out.
Look at food rich in thses minerals to too up your multivitamin??
I get them more in a headache when I'm too still for too long.
I also got ski ness and achy legs with lower ferritin levels.
Put that on your next bloods as well
I had these all the time, all over. I year of b12 injections and rarely get them now. I was also deficient in vit D and have been taking supplements which may have helped.
Have an iron panel drawn. Iron deficiencies will also cause these symptoms.
have you tried drinking apple cider vinegar?Just a capful or so diluted with water and it will make your cramps go away instantly at least it has for me.
Please let me know if the apple cider vinegar helps you. It amazes me every time I drink it and my muscle cramps go away.
