I read a lot of posts about leg cramps, so I began taking potassium, magnesium and calcium. The first night I felt cramps, I took the above mentioned supplements, and also took some ibuprofen. My legs were fine. The next night, since I didn't know if the ibuprofen helped my legs or the supplements, I took just the supplements. My legs hurt soooo bad, I finally took some ibuprofen at 3:00 a.m.!!! That helped so I could at least get some sleep. The next night I made sure I took ibuprofen, and all was fine.

My question is, is it okay to take ibuprofen? The supplements didn't seem to help, but maybe I need to give them awhile to get into my system? I do drink plenty of water. My husband is following Atkins as well and doesn't have any problem with leg cramps, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!! Any suggestions??
