I’m shocked that in over a year there are no replies to this. I have the same situation and the same cramping symptoms. I really need some feedback and assistance with this.

Home remedies for cramping include drinking pickle juice or a tsp of mustard. I was experiencing terrible cramping (I have RA/AxSpA) and my rheumatologist suggested a nightly supplement of magnesium, but I am also currently being evaluated for MG due to muscle weakness, and I read that magnesium is not recommended for MG patients. I find heat helps to calm the cramping as well.
