Thanks all you lovely people who sent me advice on how to deal with cramp. I have in fact been taking quininne and drinking bitter lemon, but am not quite sure if it is working or not, I think it might be , a little, however,anything is better than nothing, so once again thanks, what would we do without this web site, bless you all

I get the cramps when my electrolytes are off....you could try a trace mineral tablet with potassium, calcium and magnesium...it works for me
Bananas ... I always eat one a day they contain potassium , magnesium and serotonin I am I admit rather bored with them... But my leg cramps have Definately been better since I started eating one a day... It's been a year now ...

Hi VG, Thanks for that, I thought at first you were being your usual lovely self ,grumpy, which of course you`re not, you just like to think you are ,I think you`re funny and entertaining, which gives me a lot of laughs sometimes,however, enough of this admiration society thing, otherwise it looks like we`re both getting dopey, I do actually eat a lot of bananas, never gave it a thought about them being good for cramps, so perhaps I`ll eat more, must admit, it does get boring sometimes though, still, once again, thanks for that.

I get terrible leg cramping but when I asked my GP for help she said it was something I had to live with. Just to make sure I exercised and stretched properly which I do. I eat loads of bananas but still cramp 
Doctors do sometimes prescribe quinine sulphate for leg cramps - might be worth checking with your GP. Also, a quick way to adjust your electrolytes is to take a rehydration sachet in a glass of water - worth remembering in this warm, muggy weather.
I always take issue with doctors who say 'you have to live with it' - that's only correct when all avenues of treatment have been tried!
