Do you take supplementary magnesium? I had leg cramps at night many years ago and that seemed to stop them.
It’s the potassium that stops the leg cramps. Orange juice will do it, as will vitamin C. I just took two potassium pills and walked until the cramps dissipated. I took all my daily pills while I was gone, but didn’t always take the Emergen-C, which stops the leg cramps. I know better, so it’s my own fault.
To confuse matters, I used to get leg cramps at night, and I read somewhere that they’re from low calcium.
I added a calcium citrate dose to my vitamins, and the cramps went away, but as I kept taking it, the cramps returned.
Turns out I have to be very careful with the dose, too much and too little both cause the cramps.
Take the m and s out of cramps. [place result here]!!
But perhaps I shouldn’t have spoken, since I react weirdly to prescription drugs and vitamins.
Probably because I’m a mutant alien from another planet, and my mother just never told me.
It just became obvious after the tenth or twelfth doctor looked at my ailment and said, and I quote,
“I’ve never seen that before!” or in response to my reaction to whatever drug he or she gave me, “It doesn’t DO that!”
