I ordered some quinine off ebay for muscle cramping. It's related to Hydroxychloroquine, (Plaquenil) and it's an old treatment for cramping. Tonic water does too but it's sugary and I don't use artificial sweeteners.
I dropped half my Plaquenil yesterday and noticed a leg cramp. Some rheumatologists prescribe Plaquenil for PMR as it is "steroid sparing".

That is fascinating. Thank you for the insight. My MD has not suggested anything out of the prednisone or other icky rheumatoid type drugs, biológica.
