I try to drink a lot, but will try more. I already only sleep about 6 hours before having to go to the bathroom

Work out. Not hard to accomplish this when you are exercising.

Doesn't help for me. My body simply doesn't care and I have to force down water. Even after running for miles. I tried adding Mio but those stevia drops destroyed my stomach.

Could you have too much potassium? For instance orange juice and a couple bananas caused cramps for me once.

True true. Probably even consider replacing them with bananas.

Leg Champs is the BEST! In the past I have had severe leg cramps even to the point of fainting. This stuff works and VERY quickly!

I don't think so, not typically eating bananas or orange juice, but I don't always think about tracking such.

Depending on weight 130 oz is kinda a baseline.

I'm/was an alcoholic, so I drink a shite ton of water as a habit, but I also workout 1/2 x's a day and keep my small house warm so I sweat a good bit even in just shorts(I work from home). I try to eat good, think potassium, niacin, vit-d(sun), vit-c and copper rich foods. Salads offer lots of water too, but I also do a 60(h2o)/40(gaterade powder) or 70/30 gaterade powder 16oz drink for lunch with salad. You need salt and potassium, so if you piss alot, you better replenish or health issues. I've actually felt drunk/light-headed drinking so much water. I felt like shite for about 12 hrs or so.....I pissed alot and completely clear, I've thrown up water a few times because I drank too much of it, not cool.

Fruit/protein smoothies 3-5 x's a week.

Stay hydrated and eat bananas

Fairlife Chocolate Milk.

1 cup has more potassium than a banana and it taste good. Added bonus of hydration.

Yeah...you probably have some electrolytes out of balance.

Toss back a few adult beverages on top of that and your potassium (at least) will certainly be out of whack.

Not scare you. Friend of mine had leg pain/cramps. Similar to yours. Turned out to be cancer.
