Cramp

It might be totally unrelated but since I've started taking levothyroxine 50mg I'm experiencing lots of cramp toes leg thumb!!! Anyone else had this oddity??

Karen, low salt is often the cause of cramps. Try a couple of pinches of salt in a glass of water for a few days to see if the cramps stop. I suffered cramps in my feet and legs before I was on Levothyroxine, not since (touch wood).

Hi Karen178. Clutter is right. How long have you had it. When I used to be on thyroxin I didn't get any cramp. Then I was put onto eltroxin and boy did I get cramp in my feet and right up my legs. Lasted for about 10 days then settled down but if I altered the dose it would kick off again. So it may be a settling down thing

I find magnesium helps my cramps or tonic water, but it must have quinine in so go for the well known brand

I used to suffer lots of cramps at night for many years before diagnosis, I used to drink sparkling water, I found spa and Perrier to work the best. Not sure if spa still available, as it was many, many years ago.

I hope it helps

HI The most common cause of leg cramps is calcium out of range so ask for as test. Calcium is affected by vit D which is hormonal.
