The People's Pharmacy® with Joe and Terry Graedon

I read about this home remedy in the newspaper. I have indeed suffered from RLS basically all of my life, and I am over 50! My mother always told me I had "growing pains" -- HA!
When I read this, I thought it was the silliest thing I had ever heard of. I truly believe in home remedies, but just sleeping with a bar of soap?!?! Well, let me assure any and everyone! It WORKS. I have now had 5 nights of sleep - in my own bed - no walking around, no moving from one place to another just to find comfort -just pure wonderful sleep. TRY IT!!!

I tried it, I cut the end out of a sock, put the bar of soap under my knee and secrued it in place by pulling the sock over it. I also found out that taking SAM E a supplement was a part of the cramping problem. I sopped the SAM E. 4/28/07

I have been using Vanilla/Lavender By Bath and Body works, only because it has been advertised for sleep relaxation. I will try the soap.
Thanks

I have taken "quinine", for leg cramps for years........Dont know what I will do with out it.....Am going to try the Ivory

After the pharmacist explained he could no longer fill my quinine sulfate prescription, another shopper in the pharmacy came up to me and said not to question her why, but that I should try putting a bar of soap under the sheet. That was nearly three months ago. What happened to the RLS? Washed away? How can that bar of soap work on the old formerly-cramped legs? It seems to have worked for me!

I saw an article in our local newspaper about 6 months ago about putting soap under the sheets for RLS and tried it immediately. Since that time I have not had a single leg cramp. I use Caress.

I went on a trip recently and had my bar of soap with me. I was staying at a B&B and when I got back that evening my soap was gone! I called the proprietor of the B&B and asked him where the devil my soap was. He told me he thought it was in the bed by mistake and had thrown it away. When I told him why I needed it he said that he would go through the garbage and find it--which he did. He also told me that he, too, has leg cramps and was going to try this remedy.

My doctor just gave me this mystified look and said "whatever." He was the one raising such Sam Hill about me taking potassium!

What a wonderful, really inexpensive treatment that stops RLS.

I tried the Ivory......didnt work.....took "Quinine" the next nite and slept......I have ordered another "leg cramp" medicine from Homeopathic Labs......
If the results are good I will let you know....

I keep reading about how they cure RLS with a bar of soap. Well, it did not work for me. And another comment: Does RLS cause leg cramps? That's not the way I understnd RLS. It does cause some almost indescribable symptoms, but not muscle cramps in the legs.

I have tried the soap and it did not work for me. I have tried several prescriptions used to treat Parkinson's disease to no avail. I currently use tramadol - one 50 mg. tab about an hour before going to bed. It works well for me. Tramadol is a prescription med so you'll have to talk your doctor into writing a Rx.

I have suffered from severe leg cramps for years. I read about the Ivory soap, tried it and I have not had a leg cramp since. What makes it work, does anybody know?

I have severe Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD). Have used Sinemet and Mirapex over the last 8 years, but stopped each due to side effects. Currently unmedicated and miserable with the leg movements at night, waiting on test results and the docs to decide next line of defense. Someone mentioned the Ivory soap. Well, I tried it in a wrap around my ankles and under my feet in a double socks, but what seems the best is I have four bars across my lower bed so that no matter where I move my feet, one is near. If a movement wakes me, I move my foot to touch the soap, and fall right back asleep. Hasn't been a cure, but certainly has made it more tolerable and less sleep robbing. Can't begin to understand it. The most logical theory I've read is one wondering if the leg movements are like electrical currents, maybe the composition/density of the soap absorbs the brunt of the charge. (Like rubber and lightning.) Would love to understand why, but just having a degree of relief is good enough for me.

I used to suffer with leg cramps at night, particularly after walking, which is my main form of exercise. Ever since placing a bar of soap (Caress) beneath my top sheet at the foot of the bed, cramping has been nonexistent!! Thanks so much.

My experience with nighttime leg cramps is lifelong. When quinine pills were no longer available, a Nursing professor at the University where I worked recommended I drink tonic water with quinine in it. I found that Schweppes Tonic Water works best for me. I will, however, try putting soap under my sheet.

I know this is just anecdotal information, but I was having a lot of problems with leg cramps, because of a tumor in my knee. I thought why not try this and it worked! I never had any more leg cramps after the night I put that dumb bar of soap between the sheets next to my feet. It has been over a year now and still no leg cramps!

I have tried several kinds of bar soap for leg cramps. First being Ivory..I learned that I need to change the soap about every 3-4 months. I buy them at the 99 cent store. 3 bars for for 99 cents is the best investment for a good nights sleep.It took 3 nights before it worked ,but that was 2 years ago and no leg cramps for me now. I use the cheap nylon anklets or cut the foot off old panty hose to slip the soap into, that seems to help keep it in place. I use two bars under the bottom sheet,one on each side near my feet. THANK YOU DR. GOTT for listening to your readers and passing along their health tips. Also I did ask my DR. about Vicks for toenail fungus ,he said it couldn't hurt ( after over the counter meds, and two very expensive prescriptions that DIDN'T work ) After twice daily use, for about 4 months the fungus started to go away. Now it is gone and from time to time I apply Vicks to all my toenails just to make them look & feel better and hopefully keep the fungus from coming back. No one knows why it works and I don't care.I just know it works for me.

I have had leg cramps for years. I have taken potassium pills and eaten a banana every day, but still had cramps. My doctor told me to try tonic water because quinine pills could be dangerous. Well it worked, but the ivory soap is more convenient. Please tell me how it works and why. Also, do most people unwrap it first? How often should it be replaced? I called the Ivory soap number and they told me they have no idea what I was talking about. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

We too read about putting an unwrapped bar of soap under the fitted sheet . My husband has been having severe cramping in his legs for years. I have several herniated disc bulges and Fibromyalgia and my legs hurt all the time. First night we tried the only bar of soap in the house which was irish spring. (we use liquid soap to bathe). We are both RN's and we do not know why but it did work . We put a bar of Ivory under both sides of our bedsheets as well , my leg pain went away last night and he has not had cramps for 2 nights now. Nothing else had been helping him, not prescriptions , not anything and he has had 2 great nights of sleep so far.

Yes, this remedy does work. I haven't had leg cramps since I put the bar of soap in my bed. I have told others who thought I was crazy until they had the same results.

Thanks for you great column

I will try this for sure after walking or exercising the leg muscles (that is when I get leg/calf cramps); BUT - I wish so much that I'd known about this 5 or more yrs ago when my son would wake up in the night (often) with severe leg cramps. I only thought it was growing pains for him & doctors had no idea what to say. I will pass this along & use the soap too !
Thank you so much.

I have been suffering from leg cramps since starting statins for high cholesterol! I hesitated about putting the soap under the sheets......my husband laughed....but it works!!! Thank you so much. I also carry a small "hotel" type bar in my pocket.

It makes me crazy not to know why the soap thing works, but I use the soap anyway. It doesn't matter what kind of soap, or how big a bar. Just as long as it's under the sheet in my bed. Ever since my neighbor told me this cockamamy soap rememdy about 9 months ago, I've used it. I used to get the most excrutiating leg cramps that run along the inside of my thigh, and in these past nine months I've only had the cramp twice - one time was after our cleaning service changed our sheets and took out the soap, and the other time was last night after I fell asleep on the couch. Ouch!! I actually hobbled to my bed in agony, looking for the soap. I pressed it all along the cramp and felt relief much sooner than in the past. I have no idea if it's psychosomatic, but I don't care. My husband thinks I'm nuts - but all I care about is getting rid of that God-awful pain! I need to thank my neighbor for telling me about this remedy, and I wish you all restful nights of pain-free sleep.

"Suffered" with restless legs (RLS) since last year. Presently on Miraprex which seems to help. I tried the Ivory soap last year with no effect, so I'm willing to give it another try using the method prescribed here.

I read your newspaper article about the soap and, feeling a little silly, I thought what the heck, but I won't tell my husband! I don't like to take any medication so maybe this is the answer for the severe cramps in my lower legs. Well, it does work and I have been putting Ivory soap under the bottom sheet for many, many months with complete success! I need a fresh bar every 3 months or so. Bought the larger sized bars and cut one in half. Works just as well for about $.07/month!

My husband, a very analytical type, said: "There's no way that putting a bar of soap under the sheet can work" but he did try it for his leg cramps (he's a Diabetic Type II). The next morning he said: "There's no way that can work - but it DID!" We have had TWO bars of soap under our sheet ever since and no more leg cramps for either of us. I also rest my foot where I have Morton's Neuroma on the bar of soap when it aches and the ache goes away.

I have suffered from RLS for 50 years, I am 75, and it is getting worse, even with medication. I am taking clonazepam 2 mg. I still walk most of the night. Than after foot surgery the doctor gave me Requip. I took them three nights, and did not sleep one second for all three days and night. I almost fainted in the pharmacy, trying to get back on my old prescription. If this soap remedy works I will thank the good Lord on my knees. Sure is worth a try.
Thanks for the tip.

When I first heard about the soap in the bed, I laughed and said no way. I suffer from leg cramps and thought I would try it. I did not have any Caress, but I did have Tropical Zest. It worked. I had the best sleep ever. I found the article online and e-mailed it to everyone I know.

I will use it forever!

concerning a soap bar under sheets.....Per my friend Sheila.
Thanks ao much. It worked great the first night but I have a major problem. My Dog and cat who have arthritis get to bed before I do and they have been laying on it every night!! Now I have no bed for me. Animals don't lie! so it must work!

i finally fell asleep last night then woke back up an hour and a half later... i just started getting cramps in my legs and the creapy crawly feeling in my legs... i know people who have RLS so i decided to look it up and see if there was anything i could do... im at the computer right now with a bar of soap under each leg and it seems to be working!!! i thought it was crazy but i figured what do i have to lose? i m going to go try to lay back down and see if i cant fall back asleep. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! try it!!!!

My brother told me about this cure. He had heard it from a friend and was very skeptical. He tried it and it worked wonders for him. After reading the other personal experiences you have here, I'm going to add it to my aging dogs' bed to see if it helps her arthiritis. Will let you know. Thanks.. Mary

Another reason for painful leg cramps and a remedy.
Statins (cholesterol lowering drugs) can cause leg cramps by preventing optimum oxygenation of the muscles. Before I learned this I had been using magnesium, 100 mg a day, per my doctor and it cut the leg cramps by half. Instead of jumping out of bed in pain 7 times each night, I only had about 3 episodes.
An excellent health food store owner told me about the side effect of Red Yeast Rice (a natural statin)I had been taking. The leg cramps started then. He suggested 100 mg of Coenzyme Q-10 at night along with the magnesium. The Q-10 improves oxygen circulation. It is working. I only occasionally get a foot cramp. But will try the soap if I stop the Q-10. It can't hurt and is cheaper.

I read in the newspaper column that the bar of soap under the sheet must be unwrapped and could not be Dial or Dove.

Darn! I've been using a wrapped bar of Dial for over 6 months under my sheet and the leg cramps are gone!

Im just wondering how this works? I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of my restless legs, and today i found this. I don't like taking prescription medication because of the side affects. I will try this trick and let you know if it works. Is there any special kind of soap, or do they all work?

Soap not only works for me on leg cramps but for hand and foot cramps, too. Also, I have costochondritis, an inflamation of the chest wall, and soap will stop the pain almost immediately. I've gotten so I keep small hotel size bars of soap in my car and purse so I always have one close by.

I previously wrote about the effect of statins causing leg cramps and said I would give up the co enzyme Q 10 and magnesium for a few nights and try the bar of soap. Well---it didn't work. After three nights I was in agony. As soon as I went back to the supplements, the leg cramps disappeared.

I'm sure the bar of soap works for some, but not for someone taking statins, even if mine is red yeast rice, also a supplement.

This was mentioned by one of my clients a few weeks ago and I decided to try it since I frequently experience foot and leg cramps at night. Works well. I even tried it for menstrual cramps and definitely experienced muscle relaxation. Safer than Midol!

I have been suffering from leg cramps for 4 years now. I was prescribed Requip last year. Sometimes it worked. Last night the cramps were terrible. Went online to find a remedy and came across this site. I will try the soap. I really need a good nights sleep. So if the soap works, I will pass the word on to everyone I know. I will keep you posted.

I have had GREAT success with a few bars of soap under our bottom sheet for a couple of years now. A few weeks ago, the restless leg started again (not charlie horses, but restless leg). I thought back to what was "different", (in daily routine, food, etc.) that might have caused the restless leg to start up again. THEN I remembered that I had not changed my 2 bars of Irish Spring in a long while; I had gotten used to being RESTLESS leg symptom-free for so long a time that I just forgot about the soap.(I also have used other brands, but prefer Irish spring). I changed the soap bars and gradually the restless leg symptoms faded away to nothingness!!!

I noticed that the symptoms GRADUALLY went away when I began using the soap remedy the first time, and they GRADUALLY began again when the soap began to lose its effectiveness. I thought that it might work in reverse and take a few nights for the new soap to start working again. Yep. It was about three, maybe four nights before I noticed that I did not have symptoms any more.

My hubby did not believe me (at first) about the soap "cure"; one night he was having a really bad CHARLIE HORSE; I told him I was going to get my bar of soap from under the sheet. He asked me (between moans of pain) why I would get a bar of soap? and I told him that it works on charlie horses, also. He just laughed, as he moaned in pain. I asked him where it hurt the most and I shoved the bar of Irish Spring under his leg RIGHT where he told me the worst part of the pain was. IF I had tried counting to 10 , I would not have reached it before he stopped moaning and told me that the charlie horse had stopped! Now, HE tells his friends about the soap remedy/cure for charlie horses and restless leg syndrom.

I think it works because the ingredients in the soap have a positive charge. (I am making a guess that the potassium and magnesium and other ingredients in the soap have the positive charge.) I am also guessing that pain and other disturbances create a negative charge (not hocus pocus), but really do create some sort of negative charge, just like our body carries a negative charge, I was told.I think that touching or being near the positively charged bar of soap cancels out the negatively charged pain, etc.

I tried the Ivory soap after reading about it here. and after less than a week my leg cramps stopped!! The Tonic water with quinine helps but not as completely as SOAP:)

Don't care why. Relief.

A few years ago I purchased an over-the-counter drug called Legatrin (by Dr. Scholl's). My husband has for years had severe leg cramps, mostly at night, so he tried one tablet when he went to bed. (It called for two as a dose.) A couple hours later I pulled back the sheets and saw that he had red spots all over his body, head to toe. I thought it was an allergy to something. A few months later, he worked hard one day in construction and expected to have the leg cramps, so I gave him another dose. Again, a couple hours later I discovered he had red spots all over his body, and, he felt bad.

Seeing the doctor the next day, they were alarmed, put him in the hospital for four days, because they suspected cancer, leukemia, any number of possibilities. They said that he was bleeding into his skin and also that meant he was bleeding into other organs including his brain, lungs, etc. due to an extremely low platelet count. Every test was done, and the result was that it was none of the illnesses they suspected, but possibly a reaction to the quinine in that little tablet that caused the symptom.

He came home, his blood became normal again, and the bleeding hasn't happened since. We are now going to try the "soap between the sheets" remedy.

My son found this article about a month ago, and read it to me. I was certainly very skeptical about the results of placing the Ivory soap between the mattress and bottom fitted sheet. I have had the new fresh bar of soap in place for 3 plus weeks now.My restless legs are near 90% cured. The doctor (a rheumatologist) gave me a prescription for "Requip" in January, but I was fearful of interactions with my other pills. I honestly take about 14 prescriptions a day. I am 91 years old and I am thankful that I am getting relief from RLS. I also have fibromyalgia. I appreciate this forum on the internet where I can be educated on matters of my interest.
Thanks, Pauline

Incredible! I can't believe this! I am up right now at 1 AM because I can't sleep. i am going to the market RIGHT NOW to get some of this soap treatment. THANKS SO MUCH!!! I hope it works!

I learned about the soap under the sheet a year ago. I have had the soap there since and it works great for RLS. I didn't hear that it should be a specific kind. I use Lever and it works great. I just thought, I am gonna try it when I am sitting in my lounge chair and get restless legs. Hope it works there too.

I am 58 years old and have had RLS for quite a few years, now. (I didn't really know there was an actual medical name for it, or that anyone else had this "weird, indescribable" sensation in their legs until a drug ad came on TV a year or so ago and described it.) I would never take meds for something like this, but it can be really annoying. I am not plaqued by cramping, just this "creepy-crawly, fidgety" leg sensation.

Sometimes, in the evening, even before I lay down to sleep, I can tell that the RLS is present, and as soon as I lay down and place one ankle, foot or leg on the bar of Ivory that's tucked under the bottom sheet, the sensation goes away. I've used the Ivory for about 1 month. I am amazed, can't explain it...but it works for me!

Yes I came across an article stating to put a bar of soap in the bed for RLS. IT WORKS. I had spent many nites up walking off RLS not getting a good nite of sleep so I tried it it really works.

I had severe leg cramps and got no help from my pysician. Went online and found the soap cure, tried it and it didn't work. Went on the quinne pills and they did work. But now they are off the market so back to the soap, only this time I cut off the feet of an old pair of socks, pulled them on and put the soap in them right at the muscle above the ankle. Works like a charm! I guess my legs weren't near enough to the soap the first time I tried it. Darned if I know how it works but it does for me and I'm grateful and not dreading bedtime anymore.

Like so many others, I went through a sleep disorder clinic and was diagnosed with
RLS, restless leg syndrome, as
the cause of interrupted sleep
and given a RX for Requip.I
took it for over a month, and
I must admit, it did help.
Then I read about the bar of
soap under the bottom fitted
sheet, and I said "what do I have to lose.
That was more than 2 months
ago. IT WORKS!!!!! I don't know why, but I no longer take
Requip and I'll be cancelling
my Sept appointment with the sleep study Doctor.

More than 2 years ago, after reading about the bar of soap for RLS, at the end of the bed, I tried it. It worked. I'd used it for several months before we went to Australia for 3 weeks. I didn't think about taking the soap with me, and by the end of the trip, I was having leg movement. It went away as soon as I got home to my bed with the soap in it. I talked to my family doctor about the RLS and told him about the soap. He said it sounded like a pretty cheap and uninvasive treatment and if it worked, "Go ahead and use it."
Today, the only problem I have with RLS is in the evening when I sit and relax while watching TV. I mentioned this to my chiropractor and he suggested taking Horse Chestnut Seed. It's taken a couple of weeks, but that helps in the evening before I go to bed.

I,too have been taking RX for RLS. Sometimes 1 pill sometimes 2. I would wake up in the mornings stiff and tried even with the RX. My friend told me about the IVORY soap under the sheet. I thought she was crazy, but hey how much does a bar of soap cost and the sheets smell good. It has been about two weeks now. Not only is the RLS gone but the stiffness I felt in my hips and the cramping in my feet also have gone.

Yes, this soap under the sheet remedy totally eliminated my 3-4 times per night cramps!
When I went away for a week, and forgot to put the soap under my sheet, the awful cramps reminded me. The hotel travel soap worked fine.
After 6 months, the soap stops working and I have to replace it. The old soap can still be used for bathing..
Thanks.

My best friend told me about this soap claim about a week ago. She had been told 'anything but Ivory'. I thought maybe it was because it was 'too pure & natural'........though I've been reading a lot of Ivory testimonials, so I don't know what to believe. I laughed at the whole idea, but figured anything was worth a try, especially if it didn't need a prescription or have to be ingested. Also, it's about as cheap & harmless as you can get.

After suffering from RLS for the last 2 1/2 years AND I take Red Yeast Rice (statin) 3X a day, I immediately went to the store to purchase a bar of soap, decided on Lever 2000 w/fresh aloe scent.....smells wonderful & is smooth & oval (no sharp edges). It truly has been a miracle cure! I don't care how it works or why......it just WORKS! Anyone with RLS will agree that that's what counts.

I am 42 years old, and own a successful business. I have suffered from RLS since the age of 14. I have tried many different remedies, even resorting to beating on my thighs at night until they were numb so I might sleep. Nothing has worked with the exception of some minor relief from Hylands "Leg Cramps With Quinine" pills, of which I take many.

Last night I drifted off to sleep around 10:30 pm. I awoke suddenly at 11:30 pm, and had my typical terrible antsy feeling in my legs. I sat up in bed immediately, ready to get up and walk around, when out of frustration I grabbed my notebook and fired it up. I searched RLS, and found references to soap.

I was willing to try anything, but highly suspicious of the soap claim. My wife brought me a new bar of Zest, I opened it, rubbed it directly on my thighs, and tossed it in bed with me.

I then waited for the RLS to return with a vengeance. It did not return!!!!! This is no joke. Try it: you have nothing to lose but your RLS.

I later got up and put the soap under the bottom sheet, on top of the mattress pad, where it remains.

I have been suffering with leg and foot pain for several years. I was homing in on a sciatic problem, but never could understand all the fatigue in my feet and legs--just accepted that this was part of it. My leg muscles constantly twitch and flutter, and I have spent a small fortune seeking some relief.

Finally, fed up the other night due to lack of sleep, I typed in twitchy leg muscles as a search on the computer, and all the RLS links popped up. Every symptom fits for me! I cannot believe that a doctor has NEVER even suggested that as a possibility, although I have been seeking help from an orthopedist.

To make a long story short, silly as I felt, I ran out and bought several bars of Ivory soap. The first night I sat and rubbed a bar on my pulsing legs while watching TV. I felt a little relief, but was convinced that I had only wished it better! Then I placed 3 bars across the bottom of the mattress, and still had a lot of energy in my legs, but not drawing and throbbing. I got through the first night without midnight stretches and pressure point relief. Last night, I was giddy as I climbed in bed with my Ivory, and had a relatively pain-free night.

Tonight is night three, and I am AMAZED and soooooo grateful. I will pass this remedy on to everyone I know!!!!! I could own a chunk of Ivory stock with all the money I have spent on trying to find a pain cure....SOAP??????

A bar of soap? I didn't believe it. I suffered with leg and rib cramps so debilitating that I was often only able to crawl to the bathtub, where a VERY HOT epsom-salts soak would help.

After reading your column, though, I thought, "Try it, what do you have to lose?" I put the soap at the bottom of my bed, and I also put two 'hotel' sized ones in the area of my upper rib cage. I even put small used pieces in my bra.

Today is day 37. NOT ONE CRAMP, LEG OR RIBCAGE! I am a true believer.

I cannot attest to the efficacy of the bar of soap method, but can for selenium supplementation. It helps every time.

I have leg cramps seldom, but do have a problem with hand cramps, especially while driving. The cramps take place in my fingers & thumb. They are difficult to work out. Will the soap help these cramps ?

My husband told me about the soap; I didn't believe it, but when I had a cramp in the middle of the night I went and fished a new bar of soap out of the drawer. (He had heard you could use anything except Dial and Dove.) Mine was Lever 100. Worked instantly. I am dumbfounded, but thrilled.

I read an article about putting soap under the bottom sheet to cure leg cramps. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. When I told my wife I intended to try it, she thought I'd lost my mind.
I am in my 50's and have been suffering severe leg cramps during the night. The only thing that relieves them is to get up and walk them out.

I put a bar of soap under the bottom sheet on my bed. It didn't prevent leg cramps, but may have reduced the frequency. When I did get a leg cramp, I positioned my leg over the bar of soap, and within a few minutes the cramp was gone. I have done this again and again and it works every time. I am truly amazed. I've got to find out WHY this works. Thanks for helping me sleep at night.

A BAR OF SOAP FOR NIGHT LEG CRAMPS

IT WORKS! IT WORKS!
It was so nice last night not having been jolted awake by that sudden leg cramp!

WHY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
During World War II, drafted inductees, who did not want to serve in the military, would put a bar of soap under each arm before they were examined by the service doctor. This would raise their temperature giving a false reading indicating they had a fever. So apparently the skin ingests some substance of the soap causing the blood vessels to dilate allowing more blood, heat and nourishment to the leg muscles. Or possibly, the Potassium in the soap is ingested directly to the muscle. Potassium is important in nerve function and in influencing osmotic balance between cells and the interstitiual fluid.

osmotic pressure…the pressure exerted by a solvent passing through a semipermeable membrane [skin] osmosis.

WE KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT OURSELVES!
Ps:139:14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I have occasionally had RLS and have successfully cured it by exercising on a regular basis. Sometimes I have leg cramps too and suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia.... I will try the soap, I am so excited. Thanks to all who took the time to write....

I laughed when my brother told me about the soap for leg cramps. I was getting leg cramps (charley horses) & foot cramps really bad; up & down all night. Only had A new bar of Dove, put it under my sheet , haven't had a cramp in a month.
