When I first read about doing this...I had a good belly laugh.

After waking up in excruciating pain from leg cramps, even drinking mustard water while half asleep (another supposed cure for cramps), a couple of times a week for months on end, I decided in desperation...to try the bar of soap "voodoo fix."

Even drinking massive amounts of water didn't help, which just made me get up a couple of times per night (not in pain)...to stagger to the bathroom and tinkle.

For more than three years now after putting a bar of Irish Spring between the bottom sheet and mattress cover, not a single incident...of having cramps at night.


Go figure.
