sure....... do something that hurts worse, plus makes you sneeze, and who cares about the cramps? LOL!!!
Seriously - Ivory soap under the sheets? Sounds a bit odd - but mine are day cramps anyway, so I don't have to worry - Ivory doesn't agree with me.

Ivory soap makes me sick, too. But one post I read said that any soap will work. I'm really curious what chemical or substance it could be in the soap that would help.

There's even an article about it on Snopes.com:

Type of Myotonia: Thomsen's MC

Country: US

My wife, who doesn't have MC, get bad muscle cramps in her feet. She takes extra potasium and magnesium suplements for the cramping (since that's what she seems to be deficient in and that's what many cramps are caused by) and it works.

I know that potasium makes stiffening and fatigue worse for people with MC but maybe it would help with the cramping.

Jan - My PCP mentioned recently that he had heard that guaifenesin is said to be helpful for muscle spasms and cramping and similar symptoms. I was wondering if you have heard of this. Thanks - Lois
