Blackpool,
Thank you for your reply. You are the first who has really read my message. Most of my cramps are in the legs and in bed. I had been wondering how one can do what I suggest to stop them if he or she got them standing up or sitting or otherwise. Well the answer is the same. PLAY DEAD.
Two nights ago I was sitting at my computer when I moved in a certain way for a cramp to start just below my tummy and it was headed down to my leg. How do I know? Well I have had those before and that's what usually happens. Well now, what do I do? Get up and run to my bed? No, time is pain. Sit here and beat it. By this time it was reaching further down and hurting like hell. I had never waited that long to start my RELAX mode. But doggone it took only seconds longer and it was gone.
Blackpool, once you manage your first you'll never fear them again. Good luck!
