Now I use mustard on many of the foods I eat just to keep them at bay, and have not had a single muscle cramps in at least a year. But that could maybe also be attributed to maybe primidone which I also started about 10 months ago. I hope things improve for you, as I know how painful they can be.
Well this may also sound stupid. I drink plenty of tonic water, but if I do not wear big fuzzy warm socks to bed I wake up with severe leg cramps. If I wear my regular gym socks, I will also get cramps. I also take one tab of vicodine (regular dose or 1/2 tab of extra strength) for RLS and as long as I wear the fuzzy socks I am fine. Best Wishes, Peg
