You didn't give much detail, but, here are some possibilities. First, you exercising quite a bit and with a lot of exercise your muscles release lactic acid which can cause cramps, muscle soreness, etc... To alleviate symptoms I take 500mg of potassium and usually within 5-10 minutes the muscle spasms and cramping stop. Also, I don't know what you are taking and that would help. If you are simply sore from exertion take a 20-30 minute bath with ACV before bed. I put in 3-4 cups (sometimes more.) In the morning my muscles feel great if I have over-done it with a workout. Hope this Helps! Anita

it might b toxins being released from excess candida.........there can b some really awful symptoms from that........find some supplements to help clear out ur body.........look for some amino acids, magnesium helps the sore muscles........

Hi Donna,

Have you and your husband tried putting a cup or two of epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) in a bathtub of very warm water and soaking for a while after all that hard work? Really makes you feel lots better after the bath. You might also start taking a magnesium supplment, since we are all supposedly deficient of magnesium these days.
