Read this years ago in our Doctors Column in our paper. Have told so many about this and it has worked for a lot. Even the Doc says he has to believe it since so many folks write him about leg cramps, pain, charley horses, etc. and how this works for them. Take a regular bar of soap like Jergens (use unscented soaps), you can unwrap it or leave it in the wrapper. Put down in the centrr of your bed sheets and leave it there. Within a few days see if you aren't having less cramps, pain, etc. Also, runners/joggers said they will put the bar of soap on the cramp area and sleep in their jogging pants as it helps keep the soap on the spot that hurts. Hope it helps all of you. My hubby Jerr suffered with charley horse leg pain, when the soap was put into the bed sheets, no more charley horse problems for him. Hope it works for all of you.<br><br>Arlene (AJ) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779594718572241463.post-11399646946256111592007-12-04T18:00:00.000-05:002007-12-04T18:00:00.000-05:00wow I need a cat...lolwow I need a cat...lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779594718572241463.post-58641537722269780862007-12-04T18:58:00.000-05:002007-12-04T18:58:00.000-05:00Animals can do a lot for us.

On a side note.... I have a light case of RLS, my mom has it worse. However, (and now everyone will think I'm crazy) I have realized that whenever I take antacids regularly (like tums or rolaids) I get charley horses, they ARE very painful... so I very seldom take antacids anymore... it's just not worth it. It may totally be psychological, but I really believe there's some kind of connection or maybe they contain an ingredient that causes leg cramps.... who knows, but it's works for me.
