Hi Bill.... As a nearly 25 year veteran of PD, I tend to get extremely painful leg/foot cramping when I go under1600 ICUs of vitamin E per day. I stumbled on the dosage that works for me by trial and error, starting at 400 ICUs. When the cramping still occurred, I added in another 400 ICUs, and when THAT didn't work, yet another 400 ICUs was added till I found myself with NO LEG CRAMPING at 1600 ICUs! (Angels sing, harps are played, and the roar of millions of hands clapping is heard) Over the years, I've found that if I go under the 1600 ICUs for more then a day or two I ALWAYS end up with leg/foot cramped once again. It's not advised to take this high a dosage of Vitamin E if you're taking Cumadin (don't think that's the correct spelling - sorry), or daily aspirin or other blood thinners or blood clotting agents. So consider this a "for what it's worth," from your near neighbor...
