Thank you so much for the link, I have suffered from night cramps for the past year, increasing in severity and have been unable to do anything about them except to try and walk it off. Now I have a better understanding of what is going on and may be able to do something about them.
Since I have a host of medical problems(am currently totally disabled due to a failing heart), I can at least discuss the problem intelligently with my doctor.
Thanks,

Jim
