Jane Austin
Jane Austin's JournalUnfortunately, you can't get quinine pills in the US any more.
My mother had some and they worked instantly. My doc said some people had a bad reaction to them.
OK, so how come we can still buy tonic water (quinine water) with no warning on it?
My doc says bananas and over the counter potassium
don't contain enough potassium, so I have to take prescription potassium.
That and calcium and lots of fluids really does defeat those excruciating leg cramps.
You need to get some calcium in you and quickly.
If you have some Tums, you can chew them up and it should help. You may need to chew several.
I get these cramps when I am dehydrated, partly owing to the diuretic I have to take. It takes the calcium and potassium right out of me.
Cramps ensue. Excruciating cramps
Stay hydrated, and if you are taking a diuretic, be sure to replenish your calcium and potassium.
Do the same if you are getting more exercise than usual.
Good luck.
