"...I do have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(copd) and check in periodically with the realted web sites (such as copad-international.com) to check on recent updates. For decades, i have been troubled by leg cramps that disrupt my sleep 5 to 10 times a night. All the standard therapies, including quinine pills. and massage have proven ineffective. several people on the internet have touted the soap cure: a bar of soap placed under the matress voer near my legs. Did this sound ridiculous? You bet. But i gave it a try. DId it work? Yes, indeed. I haven't had a cramp since. The proper technique is simple. Unwarp a fresh bar of soap (don't use Dove) and discard the wrapper. It doesn't have to be a huge bath-size bar; even small bars common in hotels work for most people. Then place the bar directly under the bottom sheet or on the bed where the legs are usually located. That's it. Some pople may ned to rub the legs with a extra bar of soap, but, in most instances, this is not necassary. The cramps are gone. Why i haven't a clue. --------------------------------- link http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/legcramp.asp |

My husband is a horse trainer, and that means kicking alot, along with total leg work all day long. It has truly worked for him. No more night time leg cramps. I decided to try it, as i had been getting body sore myself, especially in my neck and shoulders, and I hate to admit it, but it has lessoned the stiffness when I wake up in the morning. I have no idea how or why it works, but it does for us! |
