Default Are my sore legs due to potassium?

My legs are REALLY weak/sore...

Some people have reported that potassium solves their leg CRAMPS but this is different.

My legs are just REALLY weak... its like I can hardly lift them sometimes and I have to walk REALLY slow.

Any advice?

Default Re: Are my sore legs due to potassium?

Has this been going on for a long time? Or did it just start with this WOL? You may be having the induction flu which will get better, but if this has been happening over time personally I would have it checked out by a doctor. I take potassium for my legs and Requip, but my legs have been week, sore, achy for years...


I know im not much help, but I hope things improve for you!

It ALWAYS happens when I'm on induction. Last time it was bad but I think I just took more potassium and it went away.

Before you go swallowing potassium supplements be warned: too little potassium is as bad as too much potassium.

Thats the junk leaving your body. Its the same feeling a person can get when they cheat and go off of Atkins. I know exactly what you're talking about.
