Vitamin B6 deficiency will produce night time muscle spasms, leg cramps, excessive urination, nausea and vomiting, terrible dry mouth which cannot be resolved no matter how much water you drink, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities ................. vitamin B6 is needed for the effective assimilation of Vitamin B12 so if you are deficient in B6 (pyridoxine) then you will also be displaying symptoms of vitamin B12 (cycoanobalamin) deficiency ie: headaches and migraines, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly,excessive sweating, chest pains and heart palpitations, depression, constipation and insomnia........... vitamin B12 is needed for effective iron assimilation, so if you are deficient in B12 then you would also be displaying symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia ie: fatigue and exhaustion, dizzy spells and fainting and loss of balance. A quick way to check if you are iron deficient is to pull down the bottom lid of your eyelids and check the color. If it is red or dark pink then you are healthy but if it is pale and pasty white looking then you are more than likely iron deficient.
Eat more foods rich in Vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6 ie; wheat bran, wheat germ, liver, fish, cantaloupe, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, unmilled rice, oats and eggs.
Eat more foods rich in iron ie: Pork, beef, liver, red meat, clams, dried peaches, farina, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, molasses and oatmeal.
Iron assimilates more effectively when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C ie; citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, leafy green vegies and red and green peppers.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin, also the oral contraceptive and eostroegen supplementation will rob you of your B complex of vitamins and vitamin C.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are.........
When you take your daily supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food ie: low fat cheese or milk or a calcium supplement as B12 needs calcium to be properly assimilated by the body........... ensure you also get enough sunshine (vitamin D) or eat cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting as calcium needs enough vitamin D to be effectively absorbed!! These cold water fishes are also a rich source of magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) which is probably another thing you may need to focus on as well ~ your stress levels. Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?
CHEERS
?
Might be compartment syndrome? More likely cramp.
I get those, they are excruciating, I just let it pass or put a warm washer or something on it.
It's normal. Happens to everyone once in a while. Ignore.
i strech them out its up 2 u im not sure if its gud 4 u though, i got cramp the other dat in my calf and it is still abit tight now lol
hot bath
It can be caused by dehydration or low sodium levels. Massage and stretching helps.
I used to get this ALL the time. You wake up, realize it's about to happen but can't do anything about it, and 5-10 seconds later your calf muscle tighens up so badly that you have to bend your leg as much as possible. It feels like your muscle is about to snap. I get it when I'm low on potassium or if I get a lot of exercise (which I'm not used to, LOL). Sometimes the ache lasts a day or two, but that's only happened a couple times to me. I just try to walk on it as much as possible. Be sure to stretch, and don't push yourself too far if you're not used to the physical acitivity. I also added some bananas to my diet for potassium, which is good for muscle health.
Added: Also, like the person above me said, dehydration can cause muscle cramps as well.
Happens to me a lot.. Always in bed Not in the day. But there again I am in my seventies so it is probably an age thing...
you probably just got a charlie horse. i usually get them if i havent stretched or ran in a while and then i start using the muscle all of a sudden. Most of the time they come to me early in the morning when i'm sleeping and i stretch my legs out. Usually they go away in a short period of time, depending on how bad it was. Some are worse than others. (I actually like the feeling~lol)
I heard you could walk it out, or just rotate your ankles around to losin up the muscle and relax it.
This is sometimes caused by the lack of calcium ...is your diet OK? one cure I've heard of is to get up and stand in a cold bath...(no water)
I get this quite a lot or I used to. It's due to a lack of magnesium in your system. I take one those fizzy tablets of magnesium every few days and now it hardly ever happens.
Lie down for a while
A hot bath is totally the wrong thing to do! Ice pack then heat then ice pack relieves the tightness. Most likely caused by a lack of salt in your diet. A bottle of tonic water will help after exercise.
I had this when i was pregnant. My doctor couldn't give me quinine (which is what they usually use) so he suggested i drink Indian Tonic Water instead, as this has quinine in it. It works well, too.
It is a mineral deficiency - try eating a banana daily. I used to have cramps regularly, but the banana idea was put to me - and it works. Try it- no harm done.
