Legit though. Muscle cramps are often caused by a potassium depletion. If you donāt have any Cal K or K-Lyte on hand ... eat a banana.Jennifer you always know the perfect thing to say

And what if I don't have a banana on hand?

Huh! This forum is interesting AND educational
And what if I'm on one of my vacations to Antarctica?

There is no Antarctica technically. What we call āAntarcticaā is really the 150 foot high ice wall that rings the flat Earth.

I've had those once in a while. Now I know that I'm supposed to keep a banana around as an antidote, if it happens again. Thank you, Dr. Jennifer! (P.S.: I actually had 2 bananas on the kitchen table last weekend, and my dog jumped up there and ate both--PEELS and all!!

@Nemo14 , an amusing R. I. fact 
(below, from the Providence Journal, Dec. 26, 2017) --
You always hope that your new driverās license photo wonāt make you look like a drug dealer. Sadly, it now seems an official requirement. Because of new facial recognition software, drivers are no longer allowed to smile for license photos in Rhode Island. The rules: āshoulders must be square; facial expression is neutral; the mouth is closed.ā Maybe people will drive better knowing if theyāre pulled over, their ID will make them look guilty.

I've have that happen occasionally. All I did to get rid of it was to get out of bed and put my weight on that foot and it always just moves back into regular position and immediately stops cramping. Then I get back in bed... it has only a one time that night occurrence.
Shortly after I returned from Vietnam I started to have extreme muscle cramps in my abdomen. I remember one day when they were happening almost constantly. I took extreme action that time and drank my muscles into submission, but, until then it was pure torture. I figured if child birth was anywhere near that painful, no one would ever have more then one child.
Anyway as I got older they occurred less and less. I have been on a regiment of supplemental, over the counter, Folic Acid along with banana's, potatoes and whatever other food thing that is connected in any way for years now. Once in a while I will show a folic acid rating higher then they want to see it so I just cut out the pill and it goes to normal again. When it drops I start up again. I still have them occasionally regardless of how much Folic Acid I have taken in and they are so random that I still don't have any idea what will trigger them. I might just turn to look at something and it will kick in or cough (more understandable) or more likely sneeze, but, it really is random.
My doctor sent me for huge numbers of tests. They were looking for MS or something like that, but, I tested OK and no matter how they tried they could never get it to trigger while they were trying to make it happen. I think they thought I was just enjoying the medical care and they had no clue what was happening. I did happen one day while I was in for a physical. I think that one triggered when I pulled myself up from the exam table. As usually it happened only on one side for my abdomen (it generally altered between one side or the other). It would draw that side in like it was a valley. The doctor witnessed it that time and his reaction was, and I quote, "Hmmm, interesting". That was it. It was never addressed again. Lesson learned.... When doctors don't know what the problem is they tend to not bring it up again.
Anyway, I hope yours stop, because I know just how much those things hurt.

My daughter has to have a cell phone for school. Their schedules and all their homework are done through an app on their phones. If one of their classes changes times or classrooms, it's in the app. But, they have a shoe tree in each classroom, with numbered pockets and each kid is assigned a number and puts their phone in the pocket with that number when they come in the classroom, and then pick it up when they leave. Seems to be a handy system.
