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 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.

Some years back I had an ongoing spate of cramps in my calves. When I went online to get some ideas and found out about the cramp-calcium deficiency connection, I thought about it and realized that I had sucked for quite sometime getting enough calcium. As soon as I upped my intake, they went away. I've gotten calve cramps once in a blue moon since then, and it's always gotten better after more calcium. I had a feeling I'd get this at least once during the pregnancy, as this Kiddo is looting from my body left and right, and I was doing my best to get my calcium without supplements, cause the supplements were making me nauseous and gaggy. Well, that's past now, and I can take my Viactiv again!
