Re: leg cramps and muscle weakness       10/04/03 07:31 AM Edit Reply Quote suzyq Reged: 05/22/03 Posts: 630 Loc: Northern Ont. Canada Hi Betsy, didn't realize you were anemic. What supplements are you on? Iron tablets? Vit. B tablets? Try taking supplement with food. Myself I am IBS-D/IBD-Ulcerative Colitis. I bleed quite a bit at times rectally due to UC. Because of the bleeding, I have my blood tested every 3 months. I know when I need iron supplements because I get leg cramps, dizzyness, rapid heartbeat and sweating due to fevers. When I take the supplements I take it a half hour after my morning snack. The meds. I am on for this is Dipentum-Olsalazine Sodium, 250 mg. capsules, 2-3x a day/meals. Also Pentasa-enema,5-Aminosalcylic acid enema;100 ml- each evening before bed. These are to only control not to cure. At times the bleeding is heavier when I have a bad day of D. Maybe you can ask your Dr. to test you for Colitis. Hope this helps. Take it easy. Sue Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
