THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE, I am on esterogen blockers. The cramps have subsided considerably. I was and am hooked on Mountain Dew. 4 cans a day. i have given it up for gator ade. The bananas did not seem to help enough. Two days ago i woke up with one but it was minor, first one in several days, what a relief. The armidex did a number on my bones so i can't get up quick to stand down and relieve the pain, but as i said they seeem to have subsided. and i lied, I still sneak a moountain dew occasionally just never 4 a day anymore. lol
