I have had and tried hundreds of Medical and Home remedies with no relief. Absolutely not effective in anyway for my condition. But thanks for the advice. It may help others.
For me the only relief that has been effective is rubbing/Massaging the Anti-antagonistic muscle group that is associated with the muscle that is cramping. I also avoid prolonged use of any particular muscle group by changing positions frequently.
Have you had success with the remedies you listed?

@lioness We have had many members who swear by the pickle juice remedy, (also a spoonful of mustard). It certainly seems like an odd remedy, but for many it seems to work. I do not have muscle cramps so I have never tried it, but it is simple, inexpensive and does not require a prescription - so it might be worth a try.

@dawn_giacabazi yes I have I keep a jar of pickle juice in fridge as soon as a cramp starts I drink about 3swallows and instantly the cramp is gone As a bedtime routine if my legs are fidgety I make a solution in of vinegar and water ,apply washcloth to area leave on a few seconds. A friend when she goes out has mustard packs and swallows the mustard when cramp appears.It's the vinegar in all that helps the cramp. Do you take Magnesium?,Potassium and Calcium? Our bodies need all 3 these will keep you from getting cramps I take a Vitam-Mineral supplement everyday.Linda
