                        I saw your message.  I have the same thing and it is very painful.  I wake up out of a deep sleep and have no control over the strong toe and foot cramps.  I have to "jump up out of bed" and use some over the counter stuff that does not work.  Icy Hot and Abersole.  I take asprin or advil but it doesn't relax the muscles.  It was so bad today they cramps continued up my leg to my ankel muscles, my calf.  It felt like a blood clot or something major.  I went to the Dr. and he found my circulation just fine, not clots but I have tell you it was so painful I almost cried.    Please let me hear from you and anything that works for you.  I will also keep you up to date if I find anything that helps.    Donna Golan  Key West, Florida
