I think you will find that magnesium would be very helpful for those legcramps, birdman.
I posted to you about that already.
There is also a lotion you can apply directly to your legs where the cramps are, at night before you go to bed. It is called Morton Epsom lotion, and still new. At WalMart's and online at Amazon.com
Many of us here use it...with spectacular results.

A little goes a long way... just use about a quarter's diameter for each leg/calf. Do not apply to broken or damaged skin. (it will sting).
The magnesium in this lotion does 3 things:
1) improves circulation in the area
2) decreases pain impulses (blocks the NMDA pain receptor)
3) relaxes cramps of muscles
Also there are many many biochemical reactions that magnesium is a cofactor for...to numerous to list here.
