Hi @docoltun. I think @lynn22 is talking about a bar of soap. My grandma swore by that trick too. 🤷‍♀️ Whatever works, right?
This may have been discussed previously, but have you tried any magnesium supplements such as Magnesium Glycinate? Often this can relieve leg cramps.
With your routine bloodwork for ET, does your doctor check your magnesium level?

That makes a lot more sense! Thanks. Yes, magnesium is checked. Since it seems to happen only in sporadic cycles (several days running, perhaps a week) I've learned to live with the cramping though it's very annoying to those around me.
