Prednisone and Cramps

[Snowflake]

Good day guys,

I hope all are managing.

I have been taking 50mg of Prednisone daily for the past few weeks, in an attempt to assist with the loading dosages of my D3.

It is helping, however I am having excruciating leg cramps mainly at night. Now it is also cramping on the muscle surrounding both my hip replacements. Get them some times when I'm driving also

So, I do know that Prednisone actually depletes Potassium levels.

Magnesium, for some reason, is just  makes the cramps worse.

I tried other anti cramp meds out there and its not working.

 

Just wanted to find out if it is safe to take high dosages of Potassium for now and if it will aggravate the Clusters or will it be safe.

Thanks

I will sometimes have leg cramps but I think the cause is to much caffeine. What helps me is Bananas (potassium) drinking lots of water and stretching on the floor (fake yoga). Not sure if this will help you with the pred cramps but it does help me.
