MUSCLE CRAMPS

Athletes suffer the cramps of Lactic Acidosis. Tourists to the tropics suffer the cramps of salt deficiency. Sometimes Fluid Tablets in the treatment of heart and kidney failure cause cramps because they deplete the body of sodium and potassium. By far the most common cause of cramps is cause unknown. This particular variety of cramps comes to bother older people late at night. They wake up with excruciating pain and spasm in the muscles of the legs.
The medical response to nocturnal cramps in the elderly is to prescribe a derivative of Quinine. Quinine is very effective as far as it goes; but it has the potential for some very unpleasant side effects. Quinine derivatives reduce the strength of cardiac contractions. People with weak hearts or heart disease are advised not to take derivatives of Quinine in treatment of night time cramps. Recent work out of Newcastle, New South Wales, raises concern in relation to Quinine's effects on the liver. People taking Quinine products regularly must also beware of side effects involving the eyes.

Home Remedies
People with severe nocturnal cramps will try anything to reduce the levels of their pain and suffering. Some praise the efficacy of empty wine bottles under the bed. Even more sing the praises of mothballs. So many cramp sufferers have gained relief from mothballs placed under the bed sheets that there must be a scientific basis for this substance's efficacy.
