Well, my cramping started really bad friday morning (9am - 4 hours after waking), I didn't cut water till friday night, and I didn't cut sodium until basically friday morning. Funny how cutting sodium lead this to happen within hours of cutting it. (Well, I technically cut it thursday night at bedtime). However, it wasn't just cutting the sodium that caused it. sitting in car, or laying around would cause it to happen. If I was standing or walking it wouldn't...So the advice is to try not to sit still when you start cramping. Sleeping is a different story, its hard to sleep standing up!

I heard quinine helps, but I don't think it helped me - at all. Sodium helps for sure. so don't drop it too low ever - especially when drinking tuns since it will flush out regardless.

Another thing is that for me carbing up makes me cramp. On my weekly cheat meals, I would always cramp up (not as bad as show day, but quite a bit compared to normal). Again, I am sure this has to do with electrolytes, but you'll rarely find a reallllly dry competitor that doesn't complain of cramping. Happens to everyone! (well almost)
