I go through periods when I have such vicious ones that they linger for half an hour and I have to get up and try to walk them out and am literally in tears. Then I won't have any for months and months! I laughed when I first read about the bar of soap online, but I was desperate so I thought what the heck and tried it. Guess what - it worked!! I kept a fresh bar of unwrapped Ivory soap down by my feet, and when I woke with a cramp coming on, I found it with my foot, and rested the foot on top of it and tried to relax - and the cramp would never really take hold! It helped a lot.liparifamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205794075118001139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-83867405235700402332017-02-02T09:13:52.355-08:002017-02-02T09:13:52.355-08:00Thank You, I will look up the rabbit meaning.

Potassium works well when combined with calcium, so perhaps a banana cut up in some milk in the evening? (Not sure if foot cramps falls into this category or not).

She, too, mentioned the forecast storm and hoped it would not hit her area too hard.<br />Very good of you to still go to exercise class in spite of not feeling all too brilliant. You're right, it is often best to just keep going, and let things sort themselves out along the way.<br />I am very sensitive to not having enough sleep. Even if I lack only one hour, because noisy neighbours woke me up too early or something like that, I walk around in a zombie-like state of daze all day.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89428231663710983622017-02-01T22:00:31.880-08:002017-02-01T22:00:31.880-08:00I have had arthritis in both feet for ten years no...I have had arthritis in both feet for ten years now and many nights I'm woken up with an aching pain in the tops of my feet and ankles.
