Leg Cramps

I have them and have had them for years. Just changing from one shoe to another can cause them; drinking wine can cause them; living causes them. So, as I wrote here before, I heard about keeping a bar of soap between the bed sheets to eliminate leg cramps and laughed and laughed.

Then I tried it in a desperate moment and have not had a leg cramp since.

I am not a true believer nor do I believe in soap mojo, but it worked. If I fall asleep on the couch, I will wake up with a muscle cramp in full bloom, agonizing at times, but if I jump into the bed it will go away...not the cramping and twitching...just the pain.

So I'm thinking some pregnant woman in labor ought to try putting a bar of soap on her abdomen. Do it, it's worth a try and if it works, let me know.

If it works, I will become famous and women all over the world will adore me.

And if anyone anywhere knows why soap ends leg cramps...please tell me. There has to be a scientific reason why a bar of soap can stave off severe leg cramps. I feel like I've experienced a miracle on the order of the loaves and the fishes or turning water into wine because you ran out of wine.

PS Any soap will do, doesn't have to be Ivory as some people think.
