Maxine, I have this problem from time to time. I use a product called

" Legatrin " made by the same company as Tylenol and Advil. Well, I used to

use Legatrin. Now I use a generic brand I found. It has quinine in it. You

can find Legatrin on the net by doing a search, and buy it on line if you

can't find it locally. Another option is to drink tonic water. I just hate

the taste of it.

Maxine,

How much calcium citrate are you taking each day, and when? I find that if I get

slack on my calcium, I inevitably develop HORRIBLE foot & leg cramps within a

few days. I can run to the bathroom, take a pair of Citracal Pluses (630 mg cal

citrate), and the cramps will be gone within 10 minutes. Kinda freaky, but I'm

not the only one who has experienced this.

Subject: Feet/Leg Cramps

Hi everyone. I had my surgery on 11/02/01 and love my new

lifestyle. The thing is, I have gone from a very active job as a

postal worker sorting, boxing mail, sorting packages, waiting on

customers, etc., to a desk job where I have become a " desk jockey " .

It's been about a month now that I've been placed in this temporary

assignment. I miss moving about and can hardly sit still all day!

But the real issue here is that in the middle of the night now, I get

foot and leg cramps so badly that I must get out of bed and walk.

Any suggestions? I have been exercising and taking my vitamins and

the only real change is the job description. Thanks.

Older list members may want to be careful taking quinine for any length of

time. It can affect hearing.
