Hello Bryan!
Reply to Rosemarie WengerVery interesting about the RLS and ADHD!! I was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD in July, 08 but after a month of adderall (which helped TREMENDOUSLY) i began to have very severe calf cramps that would wake me up at night, or be triggered in the morning when i would stretch. My boyfriend suggested i have low potassium levels and so i began to have a banana a day. My calf cramps stopped instantly. Recently however, i have developed a terrible allergy to sulfites, and latex fruits make my mouth raw so i stopped eating bananas. Now my calf cramps are back and are SO PAINFUL! According to my pharmacist, the potassium may have helped but it was actually the iron in the bananas that did the trick, which is also linked to RLS. Do you think it would hurt to take a small iron supplement to balance things out again?
Hi Rosemarie,
RLS can’t really be described as ‘cramps’; it’s a rather odd sensation of the legs being jumpy. I am not certain Iron supplements will help RLS; however, magnesium should help cramps. I would talk to a doctor about that though, because, it could be something else or somehow related to the medication you are taking. It’s very important to discuss any supplements with your doctor, especially when taking medication such as what you are using. Thanks for commenting… btw, bananas are always good for us
