cramping

I am 38 and newly diagnosed. I am not taking meds. yet. One thing that actually seems to be getting worse is major cramping in my legs. It's worse at night but sometimes happens during the day. Last night, the cramp went from my toes to my thighs, mostly on my left side but also on my right. Is a simple increase in potassium the answer here? Would love to hear any thoughts on this.

Try Magnesium. about 400 mg helped my mother.
