Ever heard of that? My parents think it works.

[snowysunshine]

My mother does that too!

drinking a teaspoon of pickle juice also works.

No way! Leg cramps are caused by a lack of calcium in the diet. I don't see how soap could make up for a calcium deficiency. But.... if I were suffering and nothing worked I would try the soap.

Maybe it's just the act of kicking the soap around that helps?

I don't know about soap in the bed for leg cramps, but it sure does wash the sin out of a kid's mouth!

I had a [some problem] so I did [something random]. [Some problem] gradually disappeared, but then after a while it gradually came back. Then I did [something random] again and it gradually disappeared again. Doing [something random] rocks!

Maybe you need a banana in you

[Kikomom]

Bananas, yes. It's the potassium you need.

If the soap doesn't work and you still wake up with leg cramps, soak a towel in hot hot water and use as a compress--after you've untwisted the toes jumping over each other.

Quinine, used to treat malaria, was always an effective preventative too. But it's harder to come by these days.

Ah yes, I forgot tonic water. Banana and tonic water, great bedtime snack if you're prone to night time leg cramps. Splash of vodka and twist of lime wouldn't hurt either!
