Hi, LoveableLC,

Interesting that you should mention the cramps. While I have not felt them all over my body, like someone else mentioned, I have had them in my legs and feet. They cause excruciating pain. The day before last, right upon waking, I went to get out of bed and my calf contracted beyone belief. I couldn't even move the rest of my body to double over in bed and rub it. In short, I really sympathize. This has happened for quite some time.

I take a cal-mag supplement religiously. After reading these posts, I will start upping the dose tonight (I'll take one pill tonight). However, I am not convinced that I can fault the diet because I also exercise but--- perhaps more importantly--- I wear high heels when I work. I make it a point to not wear heels on weekends, walk in socks at home always, and, of course, wear sneakers for exercise. So, I don't know if this is a vitamin deficiency or physical shortcoming.

I really would like to know what works for you, as I'd be willing to try other ideas.

Whammy
