OW Fuck!!

Christ, my calves have been cramping a lot lately.

The left cramped yesterday morning and had me swearing in pain for a few minutes.

This morning the left has cramped twice and the right once. This is ridiculous.

Ouch.

*about 10 minutes later*

Hrm, just looked up high potassium foods. Avacado is among them!! I've been having avacado on sandwiches pretty much every day.

*even later*

There are a lot of high potassium foods that I eat often!! Just bananas aren't one of them. *slaps legs* You're getting your bloody potassium quit cramping!!

AHA! I knew there was something else that would help with cramps, but I couldn't remember what it was. *nods vigorously*
If u need some magnesium-in-a-pill, my sister gave me some ages ago for my chronic cramps. I never got to use it, as the cramps stopped about that time.

Been reading up and one food that has all these goodies in it is avacado. And I eat some avacado almost every day!

I thought my diet was improving. I have been getting morning cramps for years, it's just the last few days have been ridiculous. I have a feeling it may be to do with the colder mornings.
