Quinine water helps: You might try quinine water since quinine is one of the oldest crams medicines known to man. If the cramps occur at night, my old professor recommended a gin and tonic before bedtime. Gin of course has alcohol which will dilate the blood vessels and the tonic (quinine) will help the cramps.
