Why specifically Smart Water? What special qualities does it have, or can any bottled water do?
I've had cramps both day and night, for years, in feet all the way up to the thighs, and my then-primary physician (note that I use "then" b/c I dropped her altogether) insisted that my problems were rooted in not being sufficiently hydrated....no, m'am, that was not the cause! She also strongly advised my drinking seltzer/quinine water (which I did not do, thank God, b/c it is not recommended by respected sites/organizations). Then I developed other symptoms which my then-neurologist (note again the word "then") ran tests and all came back negative. And did nothing further, other than prescribe gabapentin which totally zombied me into a horrid stupor, so I stopped after the initial dose. NO ONE takes me seriously, so I continue to endure nights when cramping body parts jerk me awake as the excruciating cramps travel up the leg(s) and into the thigh(s). If I can get myself out of bed and stand on the leg(s), I can sometimes PUSH into the pain and reduce it to a degree. Otherwise, my poor husband cannot help me at all. Yes, I cry, and horrid moans. When the episode is over, he helps me carefully back into bed, both of us trying to avoid the initiation of yet another evil cramp episode. I am exhausted after all of that, especially when it happens more than
once😱.
I'm 74 now, and episodes have lessened in occurrence and intensity. But no one has helped at all. Yeah, it is just part of how my life has been defined by various sources of pain.
