Glad to hear your severe cramps have subsided. You are the only one whose situation with frequent cramps sounds worse than mine. For at least 10 years I've been plagued with these, sometimes 5 times a night. I tried all the "cures" as you have, take many of the same supplements. I'm not on any prescriptions. Theraworks does nothing for me. Sometimes my leg gets several "spots" that pulse or tingle before the cramp grabs me. I've had some relief in the past month since I've stopped sitting with my feet up in the evening, keeping my feet on the floor. Still get milder cramps, less frequently. If I lie down during the day my toes often cramp. Not too painful, but can't nap. It's so baffling. Is it neurological or muscular?

I'm happy for you, that your cramping is not as intense as what I've experienced because mine have indeed straight out of a demonic torture chamber. I agree that creams touted as helpful have not worked. I also can't deal with anything odiferous. I do engage in gentle stretches throughout the day, particularly in the evening. And I avoid luxuriating in a full body stretch because FOR SURE some part of my body will "kink up" and cramp! A warm (not hot) shower in the evening also helps to relax. I like resting my legs up against the wall; permits them to release tensions and helps with blood flow. I concentrate on mental images of each part of my body just "floating"...such a peaceful, fluid state to be in just before bed.
I hope you continue not having bad cramps. Meanwhile, I'm grateful for the periods free from the fang-digging pain.
