Hi Debra,
Hopefully they are monitoring your Dad's magnesium level. Lack of magnesium will contribute to spasms and cramps. And if he's still on cyclo, it can lower mag. levels. Supplementing with magnesium citrate should be helpful. I know of others on cyclo who did. Maybe they'll post the dosage they took. You may want to start another thread specifically on the side effects of cylco.
Also, make sure they really watch for C-diff while on antibiotics since he had a bout of it earlier. A good probiotic could help here. You may want to ask them about prescribing one or getting one on your own.
