Cramp is very, very painful and tends to wake you up at night, the more so as you get older. Years ago, reading The Oldie in a dentist's waiting room, I came across this remedy and my husband and I have used it ever since. You just put a real (not plastic) cork in the bed. It doesn't sound in any way scientific, but it works. Since real corks are disappearing fast in favour of plastic or screw-tops, perhaps it's a good idea to start collecting a few?
One night we both had cramp and discovered that, having changed the sheets, we had forgotten to put the cork back. This was something we only found out in the morning - no question of it being psycho-somatic cramp!
I am most grateful to The Oldie for this
