Killer front and inner thigh cramps last night. [View all]

Have any of you ever experienced them? If so, what did you do for them? I’ve had charley horses in calves, shins, ankles before, but nothing like these.

I know I’ve probably overdone the past two days, haven’t been vigilant in keeping up with water, skipped a normal lunch both days, had more than my usual holiday cheer (4 small glasses of wine and one awesome lambic raspberry beer on Tday). Sooo not smart.

I leapt out of bed last night about every two hours. Literally bent over because I couldn’t stand straight due to the muscles being so tight, each time took a lot to rub it out. I think my reflux raised its head because of me jumping out of bed so fast. When I’d lay back down to try to go back to sleep, the reflux was worse. Couldn’t take any Zantac due to being on metformin. There were times last night that I just kept thinking “breathe in, breathe out”, drift off to sleep, then the cycle would abruptly start again. I think I’ve felt so crappy today due to lack of sleep.

To top that all off, it hurts to lay on my left side because the 20lb turkey got the better of my shoulder when I was getting it in the darned oven.

Feeling exhausted and beaten, and kind of afraid to go to sleep tonight ☹️
