Night Cramps

[adik]

This seems a really petty problem compared with all the questions asked, but does anyone have any ideas how to stop them. I am drinking more water during the day as it might be dehydration, but I have cramp every night and it can be quite excruciating.

My OH had the same problem. He has found that a banana just before bed helps. Worth a try anyway.

Magnesium tablets are a proven relief.

Difficult question.

Are you taking any medication for any underlying medical condition?
