Muscle cramps, muscle aches and tired eyes?

Hello all,

I am new to this site and love the concept.

I have polycystic kidney disease and had a living donor transplant 5 months ago, all is good except I find my legs get very tired by the end of the work day as well as tired eyes.

I also suffer from leg cramps nightly while sleeping.

Does anyone else experience this?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Pelican6

Hello Pelican6 I have PKD also. I had my transplant over 3 yrs ago. The cramps in the legs before where horrible. I don't get them as often now. Everyone is different, so you should ask your doc to check your electrolytes. Your potassium, and magnesium. They could be too high, or too low. I had horrible ones the other day after I went for a walk. Let the doctor know about it. The eye part..Mine are not as good as they used to be. It is all medicine related.

That’s what I think, the drs don’t see a reason for the issue with regards to the medication.

I am hoping it gets better with time.
