Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 Sue, I don't want to pry, but do you happen to take any birth control. Leg cramps can be a VERY dangerous sign and is worth having it checked out. If the potasium works, that's great. But if not, definitely have it checked out by your g-doctor.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Don't know if there is any medical truth to this, but when that happens to me, I drink/eat whatever has potassium in it, that I can tolerate. (specifically, tomato juice). Then, I up my protein supplement and take extra s.f. Tums.
