What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Muscle cramps are often a sign of low potassium. I see you are eating banana which is great - if you drink a coconu****er it'll have 3x what a banana has and can help! 

I did not know that about coconu****er, that's cool.  I am going to try it next time.

As you probably know, since I've certainly whined enough about it lol, I get terrible leg cramps - calves, feet, toes, shins (shins are the absolute WORST), etc. Some of my required medication causes me to dehydrate and depletes my potassium, so I supplement with potassium each day, as well as magnesium. HOWEVER.... taking additional potassium is not right for everyone. High potassium can indicate heart problems (cardiac arrest, actually) so I always recommend seeing your family doc before adding it into your supplement regime. I try to keep my water intake high(er) when possible as well.

Do you find the magnesium helps reduce the frequency of the cramps Karen?  

No idea. LOL Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't. I haven't seemed to have found the answer as of yet. I added the magnesium upon recommendation from my doctor. It certainly hasn't hurt anything thus far. I wish I had the answer (for all of us) because the pain is frankly very excruciating and just plain terrible.

This is where you've been hiding? I've been sitting at the coffee house for two hours, waiting for you!

I thought it was tomorrow!

Will send you a PM ;)

I thought I had drank enough that day. But I agree I need to keep my water up or it gets worse. I have my 4 yr coming up. I will ask them about my labs and see if anything shows
