    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

    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 just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    If you are on certain heart drugs they can cause gout and cramps.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    maybe vit B is low
    Perhaps a few pints of tonic water per day, with a suitable alcoholic accompaniment would do the trick

    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

    More common side effects

    The more common side effects that can occur with amlodipine include:

    swelling of your legs or ankles
    tiredness or extreme sleepiness
    stomach pain
    nausea
    dizziness
    hot or warm feeling in your face (flushing)
    irregular heart rate (arrhythmia)
    very fast heart rate (palpitations)
    abnormal muscle movements
    tremors
