I get deep cramps in the muscle that runs from the inside of my knee up to my pelvis. It's a big muscle and when it goes it's horrible. Mustard took care of it. I had to eat more than usual and it took a bit longer.

I am now wondering if those electrolyte packets you add to a beverage would do the same thing? My daughter got me started using them when I was out in Phoenix last month, and they were a big help with minor dehydration symptoms particularly the headache.

A friend who runs marathons told me runners use the packets; they just rip them open with their teeth when they feel the cramp coming on and suck the mustard down.
