Kelly,

Have you been eating any bananas? These cramps can come from a lack of potassium, believe it or not, and yes, they hurt like heck.

Here's a blurb from a website:
Quote:

Low levels of certain minerals known as electrolytes—magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium—have long been linked to leg cramps. (Marathon runners sweating out the miles are particularly prone to this variety.) Certain drugs, such as diuretics have also been cited as a cause of leg cramps.




Just type in "leg cramps" into any search engine, and a whole host of sites will come up.

It could be something more serious, yes, but with all the meds you're on right now and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something this simple.

Hang in there! I know you're having a really tough time of it right now.
