Taking potassium has helped with my nightly leg cramps. However, the cramps have decided to move to the mornings and often wake me up at 5 AM. Usually by walking about for a minute or two calms them down.
Now I got foot cramps. It seems that my big toe likes to pull itself up as far as it can and stay there until my whole foot is in agony. Even after the toe relaxes my muscles are screaming in pain. I rubbed them with Aspercream and that helped a little.
Work is going to be crazy today: a much needed server upgrade was supposed to take an hour, maybe two yesterday. It took nine hours, blowing away most of my work day. Now I have twice the work to do.
*sigh*

I'm told a banana before bed is supposed to help. It's got roughly as much potassium as the tablets, but it takes longer to digest so it's like a slow release version.
