Now it’s a chronic problem

Oh my gosh I know how you feel. I get them all the time. Really painful.. But whenever I feel one coming, like sometimes I can feel slight tightening when I walk, I eat a bit of salt, or have something with a some extra sodium. I don’t know if it really works, but I heard that you get them cause you have less sodium in your body. But wrong or right, it seems to work for me. Maybe you could try that.

I hope you feel better

Hope you’re feeling better Jen, it sounds horribly painful.

Take it easy, take a relaxing walk and drink electrolytes.

Hope it is better by tomorrow and your terrace garden is just darling.

That sucks. ;___; I woke up to one of those the other night. I think I scared Manuel b/c he was still up playing xbox.

The kitty mascot is really cute~!! ^______^

Ah! I have the same problem, but I get it about once a month and usually in my sleep. It’s really disorienting and annoying to wake up with a mind numbing sharp pain in your calf. I’ve gotten so used to it by now that I can predict when it happens before it actually happens. It’s usually when I stretch my leg in my sleep, then I think, “Oh shit,” and then it comes.

I heard it’s because of a lack of potassium in your diet. I eat bananas usually, but I haven’t really correlated that to when I get them at night. I don’t think it’s sodium though. I feel like I eat a lot of salty food.

ohhh i used to get those all the time when i was little D: and they lasted for so long i used to cry too :/
my parents lied to me and told me it was because my legs were growing longer D:
but then i sometimes only got them in one leg so i was pretty WTF? ONE LEG WILL BE LONGER THAN THE OTHER!? *more crying*

oh nooo!! sounds so painful… :( but Mike’s so nice to come rushing in and massaging your calf oh it’s called a corkie in aus? i never knew… O_O
your garden is always lovely

ouch that sounds very painful. maybe the move and all the stuff you had to do with that and the stress have made them worse? don’t underestimate what stress will do to your body. i hope you feel better soon *hugs*

I GWET CHARLIE HORSES AFTRER I PLAY DDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Eeek! Charlie horses are so terribly painful. I’m so sorry for you! I used to get them a few years ago and what helped me is that I stretch in the morning and at night and started jogging…. Hope they’ll go away soon!

This might sound wierd, but my dad gets um and he tod me if I ever get a leg cramp, the best thing to do is to drink pickle juice (ya know the stuff the pickles are floating around in), and it will go away. You don’t have to drink alot, just like a couple of sips….

Yowtch - D; I used to get those cramps alot when I was younger - something about dodgy blood circulation~ I have shockingly low blood pressure - as one doctor put it ” Are you sure you’re not dead”.

HA. HA.

Yea - those doctors have a great sense of humor .

Nwaaa— your garden looks so adorable!

Oh and I want to write to you! Watch me e-mail you my address! Wheee!

i’ve suffered from those too. i’d wake up in the middle of the night screaming.. stretching DOES help, specially right before you go to bed. bananas help a lot too (eating them, of course)

Jalan is my favorite website for booking onsen hotels DD;

Ahhh it sounds painful TAT; *has never tried*

I’m not sure what those are but they sound painful. I hope you’re feeling OK now!

That garden pic looks good haha, it’s indeed hot but too bad where I live it’s getting colder :(

Oh gosh… I get those often. I know your pain! It hurts like crazy, and sometimes I cried and screamed so hard until my hubby woke up and said what’s wrong. The worst is it feels like your muscles tore. I hope you will feel better!

Aww, is there no other way to stop the pain or make it go away? ToT I hope you’re feeling better now and it doesn’t come back *shoo shoo*

I have found that standing up right away will eliminate a charley horse while sleeping/laying down.

Or, take lots and lots of cocaine. You will be so high, you will not notice the charley horse.

My leg gets super sore when I’m stressed. I think when I’m stressed I sleep oddly & that causes my leg to hurt too.

Also, I’m at work so I can’t take my post off private until I get home, but I DID post.

oh wow.. i never knew charlie horses could get so bad? i hope they go away with stretching! i had them before, they’re really weird :(

…o_____o; i hope ur leg feels better
sigh did i comment already
i have no idea
anyways
i haven’t seen emi’s book yet
i haven’t been hitting the larger book stores that much
i will? maybe tomorrow
i saw lena fuji’s
my cousin (in china) wants leah dizon..lol
she’s a girl which i find it weird that she wants the leah dizon book
but yeah hopefully i see it and i’ll give u a shot how it is / how much etc

Feel better soon, Jen! I understand how you feel because I’ve been experiencing some pain too….. well, that’s what I get for not stretching before playing badminton so intensely -.- I haven’t done rigorous exercise in a while. Yeah, stretching once in a while should help a little.

I like your garden! Haha, it does look like a puppet show. Yep, it’s so hot lately. I’m so glad I’m going to the mountains in a few days

Sometimes in the mornings…I just wake up really suddenly…and like i stretch my neck muscle really badly…and it hurts so much…I have to lie still for ten minutes until the pain starts going away…i dunno what that’s called though…ahhh it hurts~ I’ve never experienced a Charley horse…i think i never have…not sure…i’ve just pulled a lot of muscles and had shin and knee problems~

I hope you feel better soon. Just try to stretch a little bit everyday…I’m sure that will help a little bit~

Your garden is so cute ^_____^

You need more potassium in your diet!
Eat bananas and drink seltzer water every day!!!
believe me it works… I too have charlie horses but not anymore yeah ; )

oh no! sometimes i get SUPER bad cramps in the arches of my feet. i’m worried they’re going to collapse. i think it’s from when i did a decade of dancing. my arches were super stretchy and now… i don’t know… i’m babbling x_x

uhm CUTE screen savers

REH! I hope there’s something you can do to ease them out of being so chronic…anything you can take or warming up before working? They get insane sometimes ;A; Hope they stop though…
