Muscle Cramp!

Oh No! A word that strikes fear into everyone that has experienced that tightening of the muscle followed terrible PAIN!

What are Muscle Cramps?

Technical literature describes a cramp — as an involuntary contraction of a muscle that doesn’t then relax – well with that much pain — I would not choose it and it wouldn’t be voluntary is what I can say!

When I exercise hard– after being not very active for days, I usually get a muscle cramp.

If you reviewed the scientific literature on cramps– you would find that  “they have still not found a way to cure it,” and the cause is still described as “unknown”.

A well read doctor may tell your that — muscle cramps are is made worse by the lowering of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salt levels in our bodies due primarily to exercise and dehydration — lack of drinking enough good clean water.

So you get a Cramp:

1.   Stop the activity — if you can, and you are not participating in sport activity.

2.   try a little Gentle stretching and massage the cramping muscle with your hands or get a friend to help you do it.

3. Spray on Magnesium Oil

On the Magnesium web sites — they swear by taking transdermal Magnesium every day. It is cheap and also reduces regular muscle and joint pain.

Anyone who has experienced the symptoms of fibromyalgia know that it is a dibilitating condition.  Tests do not exist that clearly indicate the existance of this condition, and only after the elimination of other possible conditions is the diagnosis of fibromyalgia confirmed.  No one seems to know the true cause: is it injury, such as an auto accident, or is it organic, brought on by illness, stress, or deficiencies in our diet, such as a chronic magnesium deficiency?

When we compare the sypmptoms of fibromyalgia to the list of symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, we find striking similarities.  Brain fog is common amongst fibromyalgia sufferers, and so is depression, lethargic behavior, and severe fatigue.  These symptoms are also common with a long term magnesium deficiency.

Muscle cramps, muscle pain, aches and spasms are also common to both fibromyalgia and low magnesium levels.  Could the onset of fibromyalgia be caused by a mineral deficiency?  This may be difficult to assess or prove.  But in the long run, if we can lessen or eliminate the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and restore a person back to functional wellness, isn’t that a step in the right direction?

While some of these signs may be related to stress or other conditions, they are typical signs of a magnesium deficiency.  Any changes to diet, supplement use, or over-the-counter medication use should be discussed with your health care provider.
