feeling defeated

Posted by notborntoburn @notborntoburn, Oct 5, 2021

Hi to all the wonderful folks who keep me encouraged by your courage to keep going.. with no sleep and unrelenting burning pain and cramping I'm wearing mighty thin! Dr. appt. are hard to come by these days my next neuro appt is in Dec! they talked about Botox injections in my calves for cramping anyone heard of this? The bottoms of my feet seem to be firing off missiles with fire power and throwing my balance off as I try to escape the the pain which appears impossible. Thanks for a place to express my frustration.

To user 934576,
One might be able to do either, but I take one with my breakfast and one with my supper. I don't recall back when I first started taking them if they worked the first night or if I had to take them a short while before feeling the results as is often the case with many supplements. Anyway, they've worked for me for many years, and if I think I no longer need them, I soon receive a rude and painful reminder!
Best wishes.

My comment ("I take one with my breakfast and one with my supper") is referring to magnesium tablets taken to prevent leg cramps.
