Hello,

Ihave just about completed an experiment:
On occasion I would get cramps in one or both of my lower legs or
feet, while trying to sleep at night. I gave it a lot of thought and
decided to blame it on fish. Then I went off of all fish for a long
time. No cramps. About a week ago I purchased a box of frozen fish;
took it home and ate some fish - a lot of it; that night I had the
good old cramps, and they were severe. Last night I cooked up a batch
of the same fish, which had remained frozen in my frig. freezer. I ate
a normal amount, and last night I had the cramps in one leg.- it was
slight.

The experiment isnot finalized, and iwill continue this experiment,
however here are a few examples of my very, early findings:
Some types of fish donot cause the cramps or they do, but not all
batches nor all times of the year. Allowing the fish to sit in the
freezer, before eating, or thawing and refreezing allows the poisons/
whatever to weaken. The amount of the contaminated fish eaten affects
the severity of the cramps.

I donot know if Iam dealing with a manmade contaminate, or this is a
natural sea contaminate, or is something coming from the guts of the
fish upon its violent or slow death.

Please join me in this experiment and keep posted here at USENET.

Thank you.

I've found, over the years, that drinking milk eliminates any
temporary problem I might have with leg cramps.

"Low levels of certain minerals known as electrolytes—magnesium,
potassium, calcium and sodium—have long been linked to leg cramps.
(Marathon runners sweating out the miles are particularly prone to
this variety.) Certain drugs, such as diuretics have also been cited
as a cause of leg cramps. Dialysis patients often complain of leg
cramps, and pregnancy is also a factor.

To prevent cramping consider the regular use of supplements,
especially calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium (only if your
sodium intake is low or if you sweat a lot). Stretching your calves
regularly during the day and at night will help. You can often prevent
night cramps by exhausting the stretch reflex before you go to bed by
stretching your calf muscles with wall pushups and applying a heating
pad for 10 minutes before going to bed. Keeping blankets loose at the
foot of the bed will help prevent unnatural positioning of your feet
and toes which can cause night time cramping."

I almost NEVER eat fish, but I get night time leg cramps fairly
frequently.

I have found that eating a banana every day (good source of potassium)
and drinking more water throughout the day has helped me a lot.

Gandalf, do you know if there was any reason the OP should have cross-posted
this to rpca? (I've got Yahoo groups killfiled for the same reason I have
Google groups killfiled). This was cross-posted to veterans and military
ngs and senior issues ngs. And while some folks here are "seniors"... I
don't see the reason to include rpca. Or maybe it should have simply been
labelled OT.

As other long-time posters to rpca know, I am very much against
cross-posting. And in this case, none of the other groups had anything to
do with cats. Of course we do OT postings here. But this just came out of
the blue, and with a troll-like subject line to boot.

Hello,

Not to be a pest, however i just put that fish in a large bowl
(therewas a lot of it (about a pound)), and put it out on the porch
for the stray kittie, instead of feeding to my own kitties or my
husband. Does that make me frugal or sick sick sick?

That's probably a good idea. I think I'll add eating some bananas to
my old system of drinking some milk the next time I get leg cramps.
