It worked perfectly for me to take Tums, as I was already dealing with heartburn and it could help me with both problems. Tums comes in a lot of surprising flavors, otherwise Viactiv is good as a calcium supplement. In addition, don't forget to stay hydrated. <BR/><BR/>Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1147441941923134542006-05-12T08:52:00.000-05:002006-05-12T08:52:00.000-05:00When my brother was running track in high school, ...When my brother was running track in high school, he used to wake up the whole house with 2 a.m. leg cramps. This guy is one tough hombre and the cramps would break him. I can still hear him scream 15 years later.<BR/><BR/>A trick you might try....<BR/>Mommasharon tried putting a bar of soap under her sheet one night when having leg cramps. She said it worked the next morning. I have no idea what it does... as long as it is a bar of soap there doesn't seem to be much mess or investment involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1147386527326539972006-05-11T17:28:00.000-05:002006-05-11T17:28:00.000-05:00Ouch!

I've only gotten them once or twice but they are nasty.<BR/><BR/>C and I were taking a finals "stress relief" break last week and he got a charley horse. Poor guy. hehehehe.

Once he had to actually straighten my leg for me.<BR/><BR/>The pain of leg cramps is different than the pain of labor, I think. The leg cramp don't do anything positive, like prepare your body to bring a baby into the world, which makes them seem worse to me. :)Monkeymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264960774394882763noreply@blogger.com
