Hi:

On the chat last night, the issue of spasms came up... and Daggs had taken meds and cured them, what was the name of the medication??

Sorry, didn't write it down, but think there are several people who would love to know!

Thanks!

Dee.

When I told the dr. I had spasms/leg cramps, he wrote script for "Quinine Sulfate". This was from my regular primary care and not the endo. My levels with the thyroid meds seemed fine and all figures fine, but after noticing the leg cramps I told my pc in an offhand sort of way, and of course blamed my thyroid. He told me "No, that's not it. It's a pattern that we have to break". He wrote script for 10 and told me to take one a day for 7 days, and if I had it occur again during that time to double up for a couple of days. I took the pills for 7 days and it was almost like a magic cure-all. It worked for me, and hope if you try it that it works as well. Good luck. Bea
