I noted elsewhere (don’t recall exactly where but in one of the several night cramp topics) that my cramps seem to have migrated out of my feet, ankles and calves to my thighs primarily. I now only very seldom get even the hint of a cramp below my knees. In fact, I had one start in the top of my right foot this morning which was only slightly painful but persistent and required me to get out of bed to walk it off. Lasted only about 5 minutes.
