Does anyone else get Charley horses? In the middle of the night? I've gotten then every day so far this week and they're the weirdest thing. I've gotten them numerous times before, but still. I'm never awake enough to be able to do anything about them when they happen (which is the flipping middle of the night) but i'm in enough pain to wake up ( Read more... )

What is a charlie horse?

Let's see, how to explain.. Uhm, it's basically the muscles in your calves cramping up/seizing really badly.

Wikipedia says it's spelled 'charley' though, whoops!

I used to get those a lot; my dad always said it was from not drinking enough water? Idk. That's really annoying though.

Socks ALWAYS disapear. Always.

I've heard that too! If I drink anymore, i'll spend the whole day in the darn bathroom...

There must be a huge black hole somewhere just FULL of socks.

That used to happen to my ex all the time. He wasn't really sure why it happened either =/ He used to wake up screaming though . . .

I hope it stops! Maybe you have restless legs? Or maybe your lack of running/changing your normal work out routine has got your muscles out of sorts?

Eee. I haven't woken up screaming but it does hurt enough to wake me up.

Used to happen to me at home too... But! I think it might be because of the way I sit around all the time, cause i've got nothing better to do, hah.

Drink more water! Also, are you getting enough potassium? If you're getting the charley horses frequently it's probably a potassium deficiency, in which case you need to fix that ASAP before you get worse symptoms!
I hope they stop soon! They're the worst!

I've been told to do both those things before actually! And I eat about a banana a day, and if I drink anymore water (or anything, even!) I'll end up in the bathroom 24/7. So, I dunno. Maybe I need to stretch more? Graaaah.
Thanks, me too! Yeaaah, they do.
