Pickle juice is the trick. I can usually tell if Im going to be cramping up at night because they usually start while Im watching tv before bed. Drink some before bed and they stay away. I actually like it, so probly drink more than necessary. Juice ?ÿfrom Vlasic kosher dills taste best

Not really, I like bourbon and a cool Corona but don't have any in the house.

I second the magnesium suggestion. I take a supplement every other day, otherwise I have the same problem as you.

GOOD advice above.?ÿ

Personally, I've been salt deficient most of my life. Salt, and electrolytes.

Dill juice can help this.

I get Himalayan salt, (sporting store, big rock) break it up with a hammer. Fill quart jar with it. Add good water. Set in window. It percolates. (Glass or plastic, no metal to react with) then pour a little into my drinking water. My overall health has improved. No cramps.?ÿ

Many of American health problems are deficientency related, due to refined foods. Eat more food, that's not refined.

@flga

You are speaking my language but a goblet full would be more than enough.

@flga Back in the '60s I quail hunted with a friend of my father.  After a long afternoon of following bird dogs he would sometimes get cramps in his legs.  He kept a half pint of whiskey in his truck for that reason.  A couple of good slugs and his cramps went away.  Always AFTER the guns were unloaded and put away though.

@flga I'll have to chime in with support for fill pickle juice. It also cures a bad case of hiccups.

I also use Magnesium Oil. You have to apply it every night. It eases the cramps but won't cure them.
