Night Leg Cramps

[my-thyme]

Help! Hubby has drank every drop of pickle juice from every jar of pickles in the fridge. Anyone got any other suggestions for relieving them?

I'm leaning toward dehydration and needing to drink more water, but he doesn't agree.

Quinine. I get mine from vodka tonics (diet tonic for health reasons!).

This is not constant pain, just at night, just sometimes.

Yes, water. Lots of it. It will help flush the excess salts out and help with the cramps.

I like pickle juice too, but only a swig once in a blue moon because that much salt is just not good for you.

For me, the pain came about sitting in certain positions

then the same or similar pain in my right arm

I suffer from bad circulation in my legs and found that if I force myself to drink lots of water, especially after noon, the cramps are very few and far between. At bedtime I'll drink a big glass of water and that seems to be key. I may have to get up during the night, but not in pain. I'll also drink a glass of water when I have to get up in the night. I hope he finds the cure for these cramps. They make life miserable until you figure out what works. Lots of water definitely works for me!

Get some to enhance your water. I go through almost a gallon a day.

I'll get a charlie horse/muscle spasm if I haven't drank enough water.
