Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2007Leg cramp.
Anyone here have a bad attack of leg cramp yesterday about 7 pm British time, maybe noon to early afternoon US/Canookistime? I had a bad attack in my left calf that is still feeling bruised. I am wondering if there is something in the earth when these things happen, as I am sure the weather is involved. Classic mid west USA one too. Nothing on here though. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa > Anyone here have a bad attack of leg cramp yesterday about 7 pm > British time, maybe noon to early afternoon US/Canookistime?

It is a very elaborate site. I get these too. But I always assume that's a lack of potassium or some such. Good luck, Vickie B> > I get these too.

I have met many arthritic people in the past, who have stated that their bouts were bad when I asked them about any recent thunder. They always say it was. I think it is something to do with ultra low sound, accoustics and the chemical make-up of synovial fluid. BTW, it is customary to snip bits of a post that don't apply but leave some of the OP so that others can read about what you are connecting to. > > I get these too.

It seems to me that damp and cold in combination lead to leg cramps. Peter >> I get these too. But I always assume that's a lack of potassium or >> some such.

Hhhhm, I really don't know but I have done it for years and I get a little irritated when a post gets to be about 4 posts long with what they have to say is at the bottom of it all. If what others have said it more important to the thread than what I have to say,,,, I leave them in too and hope I did not ruin someone's day but my few words will be at the top of it all.

You have a bad case of needtoknowaboutediting. > You really need to get your head around Usenet etiquette. Look up > "Netiquette". > You have a bad case of needtoknowaboutediting.

But you do need to get your head around it, whoever has an opinion or not. boys! play nice! <yes, ggggg> > > > You really need to get your head around Usenet etiquette. Look up > > > "Netiquette".

I believe in my case, that it's from the medication I take (Cyclosporine). Doc said to have a small glass of Soda Water (for the small amount of Quinine) every few days. It seems to have helped that problem. Massive flares, now? Those are definitely weather related. I am a *fantastic* meteorologist. I should be on TV, but only Autumn through Spring, Summer gives me a small break.

There was a short period in the last spell (just ended) when tornado warnings were given. I was free of any problems though. This weeks spell is a wet one but I don't expect severe cramps in it. It isn't one of those IMNSHO. It should show that there is a difference in the idea of wet weather causing (or heightening rather) cramps as opposed to the tornadic and thundery variety. > Anyone here have a bad attack of leg cramp yesterday about 7 pm > British time, maybe noon to early afternoon US/Canookistime?

Nothing on here though.http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa It turned out to be Australian: An apparent tornado that whipped through open paddocks near Tungamah last Monday evening was "like something from a movie" a woman who witnessed it said. "It was just beautiful; it was pure white and this tunnel of cloud stretched from the sky right down to the ground." Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Kevin Parkyn said it was entirely possible the Lawrences did indeed witness a tornado in action. "They're probably a lot more common than many people realise," Mr Parkyn said. They will go to Tungamah this week to learn more about the Lawrence family's sighting. Chris Lawrence said he had never seen anything like it, despite living in the Tungamah area for his entire life. Mr Lawrence said the twister "snaked" along the ground for about 30 seconds before dissipating into the clouds. Mrs Lawrence said Zoe managed to snap a picture on her father's camera phone just as the twister disappeared. "It was swirling towards us and then it was like someone just popped a balloon," Zoe said. http://www.countrynews.com.au/story.asp?TakeNo=200712108872438 Although the time and date give it as Monday, that was the same time I had the cramp. Aus is 10 hours ahead of us. |
