BUT then I started swimming every day. I often go months without any cramps whatsoever. I also find that if I have cramps and I force myself to go swimming on that day I feel great afterwards. So, instead of recommending drugs to you cramp sufferers, I would like to recommend swimming (probably other exercises would help too). I would like to also add that women that swim/run regularly often have much shorter labors. Perhaps our bodies are trying to tell us something.... EXERCISE is good for you!
