Thanks for this interesting discussion. I have been experiencing the weird muscle cramps as well over the past few months. The cramp I get in the muscle below the little finger that allows it to move away from the other fingers is weird but not too painful. The cramps in the lower legs can be excruciating and relentless.
I have tried upping my potassium intake but have not yet managed to eliminate the leg cramps (which occur mostly in the middle of the night). The article about the relationship between magnesium and potassium was interesting – thanks for the link!
