anyone have cramps?

not stmach cramps, but in the arms and legs, specifically in the legs (calves) and arms (forearms)

I'm wondering if anyone who takes sulfasalazine has had this problem....for me i wake up and I can barely stand up, it feels like my whole body is stiff as a board.... but by mid day, the cramps seem to go away and theres no pain

I felt foolish because I went to my doctor (not GI, internal), and when I saw him I had no pain, but its there in the morning, and he made it sound like its not a big deal, but I never had cramps this before, I usually stay hydrated and its not particularly hot this week...

* I don't think its part of a flare, because this week my stomach has been normal, nothing bad

I had bad cramping last year during a flare which was a potassium deficiency. I would try to eat more bananas and if it doesnt work maybe check on meds.

At least try some of the suggestions and see if it improves. If it doesn't, get your doc to take some blood tests that could help lead to some sort of possibility as to what it could be.

Are you able to do come easy type exercise or stretching when you get up? Would that help you a bit?
