there is a product called cramp 911, you can get it at walgreens. I have them pretty often especially at night.

Drink dill pickle juice within one minute they are gone..that is what Dr. Oz said. I tried it and it worked for me.

Grannie you've got it! I use it all the time!

Forgot to say it only take a table spoon or so...
It is the salt and because it is liquid, it gets to the Blogo stream faster.
Also, stay hydrated. I get cram ps when I start to dehydrate.

Eat more salt. Can sometimes mean that your salt level is too low in your body.

Pickle juice As with mustard coaches have given pickle juice to their athletes with leg cramps. Cramps are sometimes caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates your muscles to work. Pickle juice has acetic acid, which helps the body make more acetylcholine. Take a few ounces of pickle juice.

Apple Cider Vinegar would probably work also...

Thanks all of you for the info. :-D

I yell jump up and walk around and cover your ears....I say bad words shame on me..
lol
I take over the counter pills.....for leg cramps

I try Dr Oz thing but forgot thank you Grannie...but when your in one of those leg cramps I can't think...
I go all blank...give me anything...I;'ll take it.
thank u for reminding me

i'm afraid pickle juice would make me throw up! but i do try to sip on tonic water....with quinine in it!!! it's the quinine that does it.

good luck!

Nod...stretches and drink more grapefruit juice.

I am glad to hear about pickle juice gonna put some at my bed cause they wake me up screaming and cussing and I dont usually say bad stuff(LOL) I do have low sodium its been low at leat 3yrs my endo tells me to drink bouillion cubes and she is watching my bloodwork close. I do think copd has that as common side effect.

Sadly one whom the pickle juice did help but Propel drink ( hate Gatoraid) helped a tad.. I'm with ya though.. they hurt like heck! Hope they go away soon
its funny.. if you generally talk with a Dr about this- any Dr. they say its not a part or something seen with COPD ( except for possibly the meds) but since many are not on the same meds yet we still have these cramps - especially when we have been sicker with a flair, I'm still betting it has a part related to reduced oxygen... ya think/

Hi all,,, I wanted to say that I used to get leg cramps from taking Advair. No Advair,,, no cramps. I did get an otc pill at Walgreens that contained quinine and worked pretty well. I can't do the pickle juice because of Pulm. hypertension,,, have to limit sodium intake.
