Have your potassium level checked.

Sometimes. If stretching doesn't help, I take a 4mg pill of Xanaflex. That has the added bonus of helping me fall asleep quicker.

Yes I get bad leg cramps and am on Magnesium suppliments twice a day which tones them down a bit. My mother is also prone to leg cramps and she uses magnesium rub on her legs which helps her a lot also.

Tizanadine & Gabapentin have helped tremendously. I tried eating bananas thinking I was low in potassium... unfortunately it didnt help me...
