I'm sorry Jen! I'm just now seeing this!
Sounds like electrolyte deficiency. Potassium, likely. Eat moor nanners. :-)
They had to put me on electrolytes when I was about your age...I was also having leg cramps and neck cramps. At one point, my neck got a spasm in it that was so awful that it felt like my head was going to turn clear 'round like in The Exorcist! My folks had to rush me to the ER!
They put me on potassium and gave me some GOOOOOOOD valium!
Mmmmm! Valium! I believe it was the first time in my life I ever keyed totally down. Heh heh!
Anyway, you should definitely take your vitamins, but make sure you're getting your enough potassium and calcium too.
Ok! I think my vitamin is high in potassium... I have taken potassium before because I was vaguely aware it was important and I don't think I get any naturally. I sort of hate bananas because of their texture. And their taste. And their smell. And that whole peel thing.
Thanks, I can handle a vitamin imbalance. The freaky spasm thing though...
Once or twice a year, I get a little cramp in the front of my throat...more like a hard pinch really. It didn't last long usually, but it did make me concentrate on relaxing and breathing. Once, I forced out a belch (hey, I am G'nad's wife)and it went away. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, that works like a charm.
