....will I be using Web MD. That thing is the devil, y'all! Here's how it went down.
For years, I've had these horrible cramps in my calf/feet muscles at night. I mean wake you up almost in tears, make you really sore the next day kind of cramps. I always thought it was from not having enough potassium.
Well, last week I got a bunch of blood work results back and happen to know my potassium is normal. And last Wednesday, I ate a banana. Yet on Wednesday night, one of these stupid cramps happened.
So, being that law school trained me well, I decided to research this. I type my symptoms into Web MD and....BAM!
I learned that I am probably a dying diabetic with Parkinson's and hyperthyroidism. Oh yea, and I'm pregnant. OM double G. (Just FYI....NOT the case on ANY of these options!)
Was that supposed to make me feel better, or send me hunting for a bridge to jump off of? We are through, Web MD. Never again!

As soon as I read your symptoms I thought, omg she's pregnant. ;) When I was pregnant I had horrible leg/foot cramps just like you described. I would be sore for days. It was horrible.

I'm pretty much banned from any and all medical sites because I automatically assume I have all those things wrong with me.
You should be banned too : )

Web MD and google are horrible for medical ailments. According to them we all have symptoms of cancer or something else horrible.
Its tempting to look - but it never makes you feel better. Stay away from the banannas. It's odd how some foods can tear up your tummy.

Oh girl, I learned my lesson about Web MD. After reading up on symptoms I was convinced I had cancer. That thing is the devil! LOL!
