"Is there anything that can help with lege cramps at night "
Asked By: charliel  
Category: Neuropathy

Background Info Hide
I have had type 1 diabetes for the past 43 years. I have had some problems over the years with neuropathy in my legs and now in my hands. I also had laser treatments in both eyes and cataracts removed in both eyes. That surgery was a big success. Now I am having big problems with leg cramps at night. Is there anything that can help me with this. I have tried all the most common remedies with no help. I am getting desperate at this point.

I had SEVERE legs cramps and my doctor prescribed Qualaquin. I had relief immediately!!!! Can't say enough about how well it worked for me! As time went on and I didn't need the Qualaquin any longer my Endo suggested B-6 vitamins. Hope you can find the answer you're looking for. Leg cramps are horrible!
