Night from hell
I get no sympathy from SWMBO so I'll have a whinge to my friends online...
Woke up this morning at 04:00 feeling horrible. No SWMBO beside me - Oh yeah, she's at work (night nurse). No mask on, machine turned off. I'm sure I put it on last night, but when I pressed the info button it showed only 0.2 hours use. Put the machine back on, woke up 15 minutes later with sinuses totally blocked and nose streaming. Gave up on the machine, went back to sleep. Woke up 15 minutes later with painful cramps in one leg. Tried to stretch it out but it wouldn't go away - took a handful of Panadol Osteo and went back to sleep. I had a big day at work so I didn't want to take anything stronger in case I slept in. Woke up 10 minutes later with painful cramps.. and again.. and again..
Had a big day at work - really struggled through. Colleague tells me I look like $h1te - I feel like it too.
It's bedtime now in Oz - I hope I sleep better tonight...

DeepBreathing,
I can empathize. Been there and done that and I have R_Gs Tshirt. Have not had leg cramps that would not go away though. I know of cyclists that take extra magnesium to prevent leg cramps.
Stay well and quit messing up your sleep. We have worked too hard to obtain good night's sleep.
Best Regards,
PaytonA
RE: Night from hell
I have really bad foot and lower leg cramps IF I fail to take some apple cider vinegar, usually about twice a week. I use bragg's brand but am sure that most any apple cider vinegar would do the same. I do not know what makes it work, but I can tell as soon as I have forgotten to use it for more than several days. I have my own "private" bottle and just shake it up good and take a big slug chased with pure water.
