Ct W/d ... Must Read !!

hey guys ... i am blown away. i had a few ultrams last night. i dedided today is the day. i went to my sub doc last WED !! and still no word. they knew i was in serious w/d last week. how do you let a guy eat this much time in ct w/d ? i am extremely pissed... these guys have been so great in the past. anyway, the reason i am posting is i read somewhere on this board about potassium in regard to leg cramps... my father had some rx potassuim and gave me some. WOW !! I CAN;T BELIEVE THE RELIEF I HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE W/D ...AMAZING. don;t get mw wrong, i still feel like s*** just not a dumptruck full of it. if you are in w/d see if your doc will rx you some of this potassium. i am blown away how not s***ty i feel !! i don;t know what strength or anything but it is definatly worth looking into. i might be able to slay this dragon yet !!! i hope so ...

eat lots of bananas, they are pottassium rich.
I'm curious...you saw your sub dr and they haven't called you to tell you when they are putting you on the sub? Why didn't they give it to you then?

You've gone this long without pills, why not just forgo the sub and get on with your life? Are you doing anything for support? Meetings, counseling etc?

You've come this far...another few days and you'll be feeling good. Then you can start working on the why's.

cowgirl ... that is my plan starting yesterday. the 1st 24 hours have been way better than i touhght they would. my only delemma is the fatigue and my work schedule. i haven't worked in 2 weeks and i need to get back. standing around throwing up and yawning all day is no way to keep a job.


jefff
Im so gald to hear your doing better and the potassium worked so well for you.Thanks for the tip.Take care~KIM
Jeff...awsome. Sorry I misunderstood what you wrote...so glad to hear that you're going to tough it out and get on with your life.

The fatigue will pass. Go to work. Get your mind and your body busy.

Take care

Good for you that leg cramps are gone - if you want to be double sure - I have read where Magnesium helps, too.
It's okay to take both.
