Sorry to hear your still unwell - I also find socks help with cramp - but you may want to speak to your doc first as if I recall your legs are swollen so socks may be restricting.

A lack of salt also brings on cramp I think unless its an old wives tale again mention it to your doc.

Maddie I had heard a lack of salt can give you cramp too. I now salt is bad for you and we have to cut down but our little bodies are very complicated and do need some.

Dutch, I am sorry you have been in so much pain, it is not nice having a disturbed sleep through it, I hope that you manage to get a fews hours catch up this morning and feel a litle brighter later on.

All the best
