Dave do you still suffer from muscle cramps?  In the USA, pickle juice is sold in a sports bottle to drink because it's a cheap alternative to buying expensive (over the counter) medications and it's suppose to relieve cramps within a couple of minutes. We use pickles/gherkins in our potato salad and deviled eggs. When the pickles are gone, I drink the juice. Maybe you could try drinking pickle juice to see if it helps you.

....stretch before bed ?

Nom is right. My mother would tell you to eat some potassium. Lack of causes cramps……...

I have the same problem but have been unable to find a cure.  Some say bananas, some say it is due to dehydration, some say tonic water (contains quinine). I even heard someone say it is simply a side-effect of being alive.

Please help, someone!

Abnormally stressing the muscle. Either chemically, or physically . Sports drink will help.  

Sunny i would love to no the cure to this problem..i get them bad first thing in the morning,and always in the calf muscle,,i am also medicated for Blood Pressure,,i do 20klms 5 nights a week,when i finish i get calf cramps and dizzy,,JH said use Potassium, well i have 2 banana's a day and that's a fair dose of Potassium..Do not know about Quinine...i have Diabetes 2, and i do not drink enough water which may also play a part,,and my doctor says best thing i can do is drink more water,if your urine is yellow,there is a good chance you do not drink enough water,,mine is never any other colour..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

It's the lack of Magnesium

I try to drink half my body weight in ozs of water a day, 200 lbs= 100 ozs of water eat a banana a day and get some gator ade or something that has electrolytes in it. Haven't had cramps in quite awhile.

Dent is a name that is less well known than it should be outside a relatively small circle of specialist enthusiasts and antiquarian horologists but perhaps lot no. link 34 may do something to bring the name of this great English watch and clockmaker to better prominence this is after all the firm that constructed the great clock link for the Elizabeth Tower in the Palace of Westminster which strikes the time on the bell known link as Big Ben.
