CKD Stage 3B-Muscle Cramps?

@sultanvr Ouch! Muscle cramps are simply no fun. Yes, I get them from time to time, myself. There is not the underlying factor of diabetes in my situation.

One of the things when I try to figure out the reason for the cramps, has to do with hydration and diet. Did I get enough fluids into me - water. Did I do a lot more movement or activities than "usual"? We can get a lactic acid buildup in our muscles from activity. Did I forget to eat, or eat some foods that were possibly not the best choices? All of that can play a part. And it really doesn't take much to throw our system off kilter! Also, time of year, the weather outside.

Like you, making sure I take the magnesium everyday, hydrate well, follow my renal diet all help.

Hello,

Thank you so much for sharing and the suggestions of things to go through and think about.

They will be very helpful in trying to figure out what is going on when the cramps happen.

I appreciate it very much. As shared with another person, I don't feel so alone.
