Just saying hi to all my Loopy brothers and sisters. Today was a bad day for leg and foot cramps as well as intense knee and hip pain. Now I am reconnecting with my LazyBoy and trying to find my optimism! I have 6 more work days until my holidays start, and I am headed to BC with my daughter and my Mother to find all the Hot Springs I can in the 10 days we will be there. I’ve heard the hot springs really help, I’ve never been but they sound wonderful!!
I am sorry. I know how it is with muscle cramps. I have them all the freaking time. in the weirdest places. especially when I am trying to stretch hehe
I have almost given up stretching completely for exactly that reason. My back always cramps up when I try to stretch.
Yeah. I have been eating bananas but no change. I take flexaril… It only helps when I take 2 but then I am ever more tired. I’m tired all the time as it is…

Hello Catherine,
Omg mate dow mention the leg and foot cramps and hips because mine are terrible for locking and your like an hunched up person trying to get out of a chair and the spasm pain do me in mainly of a morning...hot weather does help but me having raynauds with the heat beside DLE can't take the advantage but if it's nice and cool of a morning i'll sit outside and i've noticed slight breeze takes any hotness of joints etc.
Well i really hope you enjoy your break when you do fianlly set off. Terri xxx
As sad as it sounds, it makes it easier to know I’m not the only one with this problem. I sometimes begin to wonder if it’s all in my head!
Man I know the feeling. And don’t feel bad for being relieved by the face others have the same symptoms…

Hi Catherine,
No it's not in your head besides myself there's loads of member's suffer with this...it comes with compliments of Lupus and it's does'nt half hurt...alot of people get great relief from prednisone and steriod injections as it rejuices inflammation.
