Well, since tofu is nothing but soy, maybe eating bunches of it would help as well....... eh??
Everytime we go to our fave sushi resto ( a scant 4 blocks away) we always order 'edamame',
which is nothing but boiled soy beans sprinkled with a bit of salt. Yummmyyyyy.......!!!!

Hi everybody
I thought I would send this to the group, it is from my other group. These 2 people I have know for 3 years now and if it was done then it was. It might not work for all but even if it helps one person it would be great. Ask your Rheumy about this. I intend to ask about the flaxseed, it would be great if it works out. Have a good evening and take care.
Love ya all

Hi Claudia,
Muscle cramps are a daily (and not at all welcome) part of my life. I take 10 mg of Flexeril each night and have been doing so since last April; that works to a certain extent but isn't a cure-all. What helps me most is soy protein. My Rheumy says that soy is a natural anti-imflammatory. I have 2 shakes a day that contain: Dry soy protein, milk or soy milk, and fresh fruit. Yesterday I made a shake with a freah pear! It sounds strange but tasted delightful. For some reason, those 2 shakes a day quell a LOT of my muscle cramping/muscle pain. I still get some cramps (like right now in my left calf!) but they are tolerable. 'Hope you are feeling better soon! Love & hugs Barb NC
