    Had a couple of "charley Horses" (calf cramps) at night

    Very Painful even after you massage 'em out. Read up on it and it dawned on me after reading I had been neglecting my water intake. The article said if your urine is anything but a very pale yellow or even clear, you are water deficient. I resumed my intake of water and the legs are fine now. Just a tip especially for those over 50. WATER!!
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

    When I get those I pull all five toes back and hold until the calf muscles relax. But yeah Gatorade and pickle juice along with the usual water during the day helps.
