lower leg cramps
4 months out and I have had lower leg cramps for the past month. Anyone here experience this? I did some research and I think it may be due to lack of magnesium. But there are so many different kids of magnesium. Any suggestions/
I take a multi vitimin, B12, B6, fish oil, vitimin D3.
I don't take calcium either, but maybe I should...
Thanks>

most liketly (as the other lady said) lack of Potassium. Which can be very dangerous. I would 100 percent with out a doubt go get blood work done. Like the one lady said eat banannas. However sometimes, depending how low yours might be, bananas really arent enough. You can get potasium vitamins in liquid or pill form ...which ever works best for you. but seriously get blood work ....low potassium is nothing ot play with !!

If your bloodwork comes back OK, I've had great luck with these:

The tablets are small and they are inexpensive. You can also let them dissolve under your tongue, and they taste a *****alky, but not disgusting.
