I've recently started taking 60mg melatonin at night - around 9 to 10 pm.
Besides getting a comfortable night's sleep, I've noticed I wake with significantly less cramping in my calves, lower legs, and feet through to my toes.

I take magnesium citrate at 600 mg (a bit of a laxative - can be a very good thing) and 1300 mg calcium + k. Another team member recommended this and it helps significantly. I’m also getting PT massages on my calves for foot cramps.

I get both in my hand and legs. I'm usually low in magnesium or potassium the next time I go to my treatment. So I just started taking pills to supplement. I also have a magnesium rub that I use for my legs I really helps with the leg pain haven't tried it on my hand because usually it's when I'm out doing something that I get the hand cramp
