Eden, I too had big problems with leg cramping. I started taking Cal/Mag supplements, 1000/500 each, one in the morning and two at night before bed. My symptoms eased, then increased until about 3 weeks into the therapy I had one cramp so bad that I couldn't get it to stop even by standing on my foot. It was scary.

However, after that cramp, which didn't hurt the next day (wierd), they eased completely, to the point where I don't have them any more. It's great to be able to point my toes in bed. I am still taking the Cal/Mag and have changed my supplement to one that contains Zinc as well.

It does take time to work fully, and I think that the two before bed are important since that's when the cramps occurred.

I hope this helps,
