I've been getting a lot of leg cramp just lately, does anyone know of a way to alleviate this? I have heard that magnesium is helpful.

I assume that you are not taking statins.
Difficult problem Khandro.
1) Make sure your take plenty of exercise.
2) Make sure that you Re well hydrated...take plenty of water.
3) Just pop into your GP and see how he feel about testing your blood for an underactive thyroid gland.
Good luck

sqad; (and all) Thanks, I'm OK on the exercise front I think, I do a lot of cycling and play golf and do 10 mins yoga every morning, it's been hells hot here (at the moment it's 38 degrees!), in fact, I wondered if activity in this heat might be contributing; with a friend, I rode 70kms in such a temperature last Friday. I usually drink about 2 litres of beer in the evenings, so I shouldn't be too dehydrated. (I'm setena y siete.)
