Hi!!!
I'm in my 3rd week of Induction, and have been experiencing leg pain in the evening, and through the night..... Anybody else have this?
I've upped my water, but haven't had much chicken broth lately... is this why?

Thanks
Kat

    Hi Kat,

    I had leg cramps and just "heavy legs" sometimes when I had just started induction. I started taking potassium and magnesium supplements (in addition to my multivitamin) after reading about them in the book and that solved the problem. Don't forget to make sure you are getting sodium in your diet as well.

    I still have an occasional day with a general "blah" feeling for which broth generally does the trick.
