-- [ From: Virginia Christiansen * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Re the comments on Dr's Cream. Yes, we were warned to be ready for "heat" and I suspect that is what helped my husband with his leg cramps. It doesn't cure them but has helped to ease and shorten the time. As you are aware, with Parkinson's, you can't get up that readily to work it out by walking so the length of time of the severe pain can be excruciating. He has also discovered that a residue remains and after a hot shower it reactivates the cream's effect. Even a warm washcloth, rather than putting on more cream. In fact, he does not want to overuse so this is good to note. Also, if he becomes warm during the night it also brings back the heat effect. However, I have arthritis. It mentions arthritis on the jar. I was having a difficult time with my knees and thought I would try. I was very careful. Nothing .. no heat ... nothing. Next time I tried rubbing in more. Still, no heat or any reaction. So I guess, like everything else, we all differ and what may work for one does not work for another. Of course, I do have what I call horse hide for skin.
