And not all in the morning, some in the later afternoon (hence the getting up to pee). I do all the potassium, magnesium, etc, but without the straight water .....ooooeeee!

They're horrible right?? And when I try to stretch them for relief, the pain seems to magically move from my calves to my shins. I often get them in my feet too. Ugh. But I can definitely say I'm confident water isn't my issue. I've never had a problem drinking plenty of water, even in the darkest depths of my compulsive overeating and horrible food choices.
Im glad you found some relief, and thanks for replying!
