So, starting yesterday, I take 400 mg of MgO in the morning and 500 in
the afternoon. While taking a nap this evening, I had a leg cramp! Oh,
well.

ok, try the potassium connection?

Thanks, Kate. My K is already too high. I forget why.


got ya, and i forgot that

but, if your K is too high, that is going to skew your electrolyte balance

so.......... what was the salt that Susan mentioned........ it would be my next step

apologies for not paying more attention, all i know is that i went thru 30 years of cramps like this and one day they just stopped.........i no longer work up in the middle of the night with tears running down my face as i jumped out of bed to 'work that muscle' and then massage it to stop the cramps

the Dr's told me they couldn't help me...............
