I could only add one more thing. AS SOON AS you start to feel a cramp stretch like Elizabeth describes whatever you do do NOT point your toes. When you feel the cramp subsiding slllooowwwlllyy relax your heel-if you feel the cramp start again point that heel again. As always prevention is the best cure though!! Make sure you stretch before bed and eat those bananas:)
