has anyone else been experiencing achy muscles? My calves and thighs have been really achy like I have run a marathon(but I haven't done anything like that) I also can't lie on either side as that hurts as well.

would be interested to hear from others who have had similar things.

    Epsom salt baths or magnesium might help. I get the same problem, but I have been using magnesium for these issues also use it for migraines, seems to help. Good luck!

    Hi love yeah I get achy muscles all the time-especially on my right hand side. I like the idea of using Epsom salts though as suggested by one of the ladies here so I think I'll give that a go.

    I didn't know there was a magnesium spray so may hunt that down too. Xx

    Hi Ruth

    I have these sypmtoms, sometimes its hard to get to sleep!

    I use a magnesuim spray to rub into my muscles & also take a tablet called Osteocare, which is magnesuim,calcium,VitD & Zinc. These do help!

    Hope this helps!

      I feel like a 103 year old with a severe case of 'man flu' 😭 Happy days!!
