:My poor 83 year old mother has suffered with leg cramps for 20 years, as has her sisters. Mom's potassium levels have be abnormally high. They even checked her urine over a 24 hour period. No one has answers. Can anyone help or offer suggestions. She takes Quinam. It used to help but doesn't seem to have the same benefits anymore.
