foot/toe pain anyone?

Some of my first symptoms involved terrible muscle cramps in my toes and feet. I had this problem for MONTHS in the spring and summer of 2008 and it was terrifying when I was walking in public because the cramps were so strong I felt as though I would fall, even while crossing a busy street or something. I don't experience this much anymore.....now I've been having pain in the soles of my feet and extreme sensitivity to temperature changes in my toes. This latter is likely my Raynaud's syndrome flaring.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with this! I used to eat dried apricots every day to supply my system with more potassium. It seemed to help.

Cajungirl, thank you so so so much!  I was laying in bed last night worrying to death about this foot cramp and feeling lousy again.  I was so worried I was going to wake up today and not be able to walk and/or that I was getting worse AGAIN.  Lo and behold I remembered the other day that the last time I had such bad heart palpitations I read that low potassium can cause them.  Didn't connect the foot cramp (like an idiot) until I read your note.  I took it last nite and this morning and the foot cramp is gone and heart palps are better than they were.  I wonder why lyme strips you of potassium or is it the antibiotics that do?  I am very interested to see if taking potassium also gets rid of the rash on my forehead as the research I have done has indicated low potassium can cause facial rashes too.  

Thanks again.  It is amazing the way we can help each other on this board! 

I have found that magnesium and potasium supplements have REALLY helped this!!
