Making it thrugh another year, '24-'25

[aigheadish]

Well we each have our own perceptions and for each of us, our perceptions are our own reality

I took a ride on a coworkers Can-Am trike yesterday and he took a picture of me on it, making me realize how fat my belly area has gotten. The shirt I had on wasn't terribly flattering, but eek.

I like the idea of smaller orders.

@Peter Drouin I think Doc mentioned Tums somewhere.

[Old Greenhorn]

Yes Pete, Austin is correct. About 5-6 years ago I was having bad leg cramp issues and from woods work and pushing the mill. Doc Recommended taking 3 or 4 tums when it happened or before. I was doing that pretty regular every night before bed. Eventually my leg muscles caught up with the work load and it is now an occasional thing. They work really well and pretty quick. If I get caught with a leg cramp in the middle of the night and pop a couple of tums, I can get back to sleep pretty quick.
 Good luck with your issue and I hope this helps you.

Yup!

Thanks for the info, I will give them a try.

Calcium carbonate is an antacid, and it relaxes and stabilized muscle fibers.  We use it for cardiac and potassium emergencies.  If you have kidney stones, you might just use it when needed.  most everyone can use more calcium.  If you have young women in your lives like teenagers, they should build up calcium in bone like a retirement saving account.  It will serve them well when they are older,...like us.

My grandmother used a pinch of salt for Charlie horses. Swore by it. But there was always lots of tums or Rolaids in the house, grandfather was always chewing on one for heartburn. 

[doc henderson]

Rolaids used to have aluminum in them.  I think they are reformulated but caused dementia.  tums are fairly benign.  salt will help if you are out in the heat and dehydrated.  calcium is used no matter what.  we did NaCl tabs in the summer at scout camp.  for weakness and nausea in the worst heat.  It is funny but you get acclimated after a while.
