[QUOTE="BaliRob, post: 349602, member: 36236"] Viv, Grace and Diane, We should form our own club - it is quite heartwarming when kindred (leg cramp) spirits meet and chat ha ha ha. Viv - yes, Magasorb was what you previously recommended and I have a note to myself somewhere to use that if the Malate was not successful. I WILL buy some as soon as my stock of Malate is finished and I will let you know my body's reaction to it - if any. Good ol' Grace always the fount of all wisdom - thankyou for the electrolyte approach - my Bali specialist did, on one occasion, say that he thought I was "Out of balance" but that was what confused him because of the many many and wide blood tests I have had during the past year or so giving no clue - i.e., V B12, Potassium, etc., all showed ok - so, poor chap - what was he supposed to suggest? I will Google Dioralyte and use the link you so kindly mentioned If you remember Regain or Replen please let me know. The loose bowel syndrome in the tropics is the norm for bule (foreigners) because of the different diets to those we were brought up on (especially the war years) so every sauce will react that way no matter how innocuous, so that could be one way my body is falling short on essential lytes. To give an indication of the severity of my attacks - the onset of cramp 14 hours ago now has strained the lateral muscles on the outside of my lower leg so much so that I have a sharp/torn muscle feeling still and have difficulty walking. So you can imagine how I feel when both legs from hips to ankles go into spasm completely - I was very lucky this morning. I give these details not for sympathy but to provoke or help those that have not come forward and joined this thread. Rob [/QUOTE]
