Today is Day#5, and cramping is increasing and not fun. There is a particular cramp that starts in my groin, from knee to crotch and when it really tightens up, I nearly drop to the floor in pain as

I have had cramps a couple times while sleeping this week (trying to sleep). I hit the mustard bottle and it relieves them rather quickly. I think mine came from lack of hydration. All three nig

As with any supplement, start low, and increase slowly. There's no set amount, we are all different.

I've been experiencing a period of peace and rest for the last 2 weeks, lol. And I don't know what has caused this to happen. But, I was DYING with leg and foot cramps that would wake me up from sleep. Or, make it impossible to swim in the pool. To combat them, I would salt generously and take magnesium. When that failed me, I would take an electrolye mix that had some potassium - which I usually avoid due to my kidneys.
About 2 weekends ago i went a few days forgetting to take my prescriptions. That's when I noticed it. So, I started to wonder if it was the fenofibrate I take for my triglycerides. In hindsight, the cramps started around the same time I started taking that. But, keeping my trigs down is important so I resumed taking the prescription and have nonstop for the last 2 weeks. The cramps haven't returned, so I can probably rule that out.
In the same time period though, I have reduced my salt and magnesium intake, and ran out of niacin (which I also took for trigs) and vitamin k2. I am also getting some damn good sleep at night now, lol.
So I am still waiting for the cramps to return, not that I want them to. So it may come down to a few possibilities...
1) Reduced salt.
2) Reduced magnesium.
3) Eliminated k2 (not likely)
4) Eliminated Nicotinic acid/Niacin
5) Kidneys are healing (also not likely)
I've got some research and experimentation to do.
