The weight gain may simply be due to the fact that you are feeling better and therefore just eating a bit more.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-28366110000954699822013-04-04T23:56:45.943-07:002013-04-04T23:56:45.943-07:00Oh happy day!

I don't trust medicines as far as I can throw them.

But this winter I changed drs and my blood work showed my potassium was slightly low so he prescribed potassium, I had not noticed that my leg cramps are gone. Thanks for keeping us informed and providing a "duuu" moment for me.

There is such a small range between wellness and not doing so good. These minerals are essential to heart/vascular health and nervous health too. Many doctors do nothing unless your levels are way off beam but as you found it doesn't take much to cause a problem. It always seems strange to me that eating healthy is sometimes not enough. I'm learning a lot from various nutritionist websites and through the paleo and low carb communities. Not that I subscribe to all I read but this is where there is more scientific resources on nutrition than I have seen anywhere else.<br /><br />I must start taking my supplements again. I stopped while I had a tummy upset but am getting cramps again. They are not fun even at a low level.<br /><br />I see you and Craig are busy again.<br /><br />All the best and lots of blessings on you and your work.<br /><br /> MargieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591436464085450834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-50197697588884363172013-04-04T19:00:16.466-07:002013-04-04T19:00:16.466-07:00So happy the cramps seem to be under contol.So happy the cramps seem to be under contol.Betty Graffishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046446675394381066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-73516960525112852992013-04-04T18:39:53.407-07:002013-04-04T18:39:53.407-07:00I think getting a blood work up every year is the ...I think getting a blood work up every year is the best money spent...I get a copy of mine and go over everything before a doctors appt...ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-63064338320331924032013-04-04T18:15:47.068-07:002013-04-04T18:15:47.068-07:00Thanks for posting all this good info.
