if you can drink propel or gatorade incase your losing alot from the sun and heat , also i was told vit d 3 is the sun vitamin and i cna'jt be in the sun so it can't hurt to buy walmarts vit d 3 its about 5.00 a bottle and see if you feel better, or ask your dr to test it supposely my endo said anyone with Thyroid problems or symptoms either have a low D or a high D which can cause problem simple treatment and cheap , gatoraide propell with the vitamins potassiums etc now supposely you can drink tonic water with quinine for leg cramps but my heart started tripping maybe its just me but i drank this alot in the summer
I had this! You need potassium. Eat a banana when you get these cramps and see if it helps.
I think potatoes have a ton of potassium in them, too!
Or try taking OTC potassium supplements from Walmart.
I also stretch before I go to bed. Simple stuff like sit down and touch my toes to stretch my legs. Stand up, put my legs shoulder length apart, and bend over to touch my toes, reaching as far as I can without bending my kneeds.
A good calf stretch is to step up close to a wall, put the ball of your foot on the wall, then lean into the wall. OMG! That feels soooo good!
