Increase your calcium ... supplement if you have to.... three days before you start... it will help tremendously....muscles need calsium and magnesium to contract and relax and since this is the biggest muscle ... which one contracts and relaxes once a month... it has a short time... where it will have a big demand for calcium... and will pull it from the middle of the back all the way down the thighs for calcium.... and the magnesium causes the muscle to relax... if it doesn't it is because you are low on magnesium and will cramp....just like a charlie horse in the calf muscle.

Magnesium citrate will also help you sleep the rest of the time, btw, and the body needs it to absorb calcium, anyway, as you said. I take it almost nightly. I buy it in the brand name Easy Calm. If anyone knows where to get this, I would love to find a less expensive source. My health food store is currently charging $21.00 per container. I'd love to get it for about $15. Since I work such odd hours, and my work schedule varies so much, I'm finding sleep to be a rare commodity. This helps tremendously.

Hope this helps.
