Excuse me. Can you suggest how I might pass on information it took 30 years for me to find out on this condition. I decided to add this after my brother linked me to the final casualty of the 'USS Swordfish (SSN-579)' which is obviously an un-sitable story. 3% of the population may be waiting for this information. Pardon me for being a novice but will "http://www.medicinenet.com/muscle_cramps/page4.htm' under 'treatment for skeletal muscle cramps' be OK for use as a reference? Also the following quote "Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis [2-3]. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys [1-3,4]. " from 'http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium.asp.' noting particularly 'normal muscle...funcion.' I apologize for using you (orangemarlin) as my Q&A person but as I wrote I'm new. Perhaps if I re-wrote it using these sitings it would 'fly'?
