Liver transplant - Let's support each other

Drank it. I can only assume that it was the sodium that helped alleviate the intense counter grabbing pain. My family doctor told me that I was not drinking enough water. It was at Rochester during transplant orientation that I finally learned that muscle cramping was one of the symptoms of liver failure along with fatigue. Both of which I was experiencing at the time but could not pinpoint a cause when dealing with the family practitioner.

In the months before my liver transplant I experienced leg and foot cramps mostly at night. The was nothing I could do to stop them. I contacted my Mayo Jacksonville RN and she recommended Hyland’s Leg Cramps over the counter medicine. It worked really well. There is a PM version too. I used both versions. I always contacted her before taking any new otc meds and continue to do so with my Nurse Coordinator post-transplant. I have not had cramps since my transplant in February 2019.
