PULIKAT

I'm sleeping peacefully when a painfull sensation suddenly pierces on my leg heading me to wake up. Shit! Nagising ako in the middle of the night screaming on top of my lungs dahil sa leg cramps known as "pulikat". It's excruciatingly painful, very uncommon and not just like as pain if being stubbed. Felt like I'm downright humiliated. The pain is intense and only getting worst. I'm dead serious that it's really annoying. I wanna scream and cry but due to intense pain my tears wont even come. I cannot straighten my leg, the muscles have become so tight that my calf now feels like a rock. The worst is I can't stand up.

I immediately bend my right leg to stop the cramp and thank God I made it. I took a glass of water and stretched my injured leg. Im back to bed and staring the ceiling wondering what I did earlier to have this cramp. Then I recall, earlier in the party I'm wearing a 3 inches heeled wedge. Sigh. Added is the long wait for a cab in Makati Ave..

Now I'm blogging this co'z I can't help it sharing since my right leg is still aching. The following are the causes of cramps "pulikat" while sleeping as per my friend named: Google

1. Low calcium and potassium in the blood
2. Lack of proper fluids, resulting in a mild case of dehydration
3. Not getting enough blood circulation can cause cramping.

In my case, since i had an activity yesterday, my feet get tired.

People wearing the wrong shoes can end up with leg and feet cramps. Improper footwear can be too high of a high heel shoe, non-padded flat sandals, exercising in something other than a tennis shoe, or simply not wearing shoes while doing some form of execise.

Thanks Google!
