I always wake up 2 or 3 times during the night, and the cause is usually cramp in one leg or the other, or needing a pee. My bowels should have a word with bladder - they thoughtfully leave me be until breakfast time :)
Mrs P reckons the cramp is due to not enough fluids or too much salt. I don't believe this and haven't found anything to support this theory online, and when I tried drinking more I just needed to get up for a pee more often. I really can't win :steam:
Reading my book gets me back to sleep quite easily though, once the cramp has subsided. And I really should try them nappies that Marco swears by. If they really can hold in his number twos, they must be pretty good :)
i used to suffer badly from lower leg cramps, especially at night.. doc then put me on quinine for a period and it went away. came back again another time and it used it again and again it worked. proof enough for me.
dont think they give it now tho
maybe vit B is low
Dry mouth ? have you had a diabetic test ?
These are listed and one talked about swelling in tongue/throat, best to talk with your GP, as is a Calcium blocker, it seems these class of drugs can have more side affects than others see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker
