PMR - cramps and soap

[hiandri]

I was diagnosed with PMR around Feb. 2017. Over that time my hand cramps, especially in the left hand, have got progressively worse, so I did a google search and as a result started reading all about how good a cake of soap was at preventing cramps; don't know how it works, but it has for me. Just holding a cake of soap for a few minutes and the cramps have not come back. I now leave a cake in my bed between the sheets for leg cramps. Apparently it does not matter much, which brand you use, but its power to make a difference does diminish and needs to be replaced. May not work for everyone but worth a go! A piece of cork in the bed is another remedy that I have found works.

It would be interesting to know if soap has any effect on PMR pains, any feedback on this appreciated. John

Hi John,

Interesting!

Maybe it's just NZ soap! If so, could be a marketing opportunity there for you!

Wow! John glad you've found a solution.
