(**&$%&*(!!!

After being up for most of the night despite myself, I crashed at 7am in the recliner and woke up around 1pm. I stretched when I woke up, and got a charley horse in my left calf. It hurt like a FUCKING GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKER, ZOMG. Thank goodness [personal profile] fings was home, he was able to rub my calf for me as I whimpered and cursed in pain. I wish like hell there was a less painful way for my body to let me know I am low on calcium. I drank some calcium enriched orange juice and took some Viactiv calcium chews once I was able to walk, and made sure to drink plenty of milk today. I'm glad I can stomach the chews again, for a long while there, they were making me gag.

Bananas helped me a lot when I had cramps during my pregnancies. I think calcium needs are covered in the prenatal vitamin.

I can't abide eating bananas! Blech! So far, the extra calcium seems to be working. Left calf is still sore from the charley horse, but no repeats.
