    For me, it’s an ill feeling, a little stomach ache (wrinkle in the belly jitters), where my physical strength falls off rapidly. In hardhead fashion, I used to try to push through it. The hand cramps were my fingers twisting as if someone was breaking my digits and my knuckles misaligned. THAT REALLY HURTS!!!!!! It only happened once, but I had never pushed through so hard all day.

    At times I wake up with my fingers aching. When I make a fist, not all but some of my knuckles actually “cam over”, I know that sounds crazy but they do. It’s like they pop apart and locked into a closed position. When I try to open my fingers I can feel the pop when it unlocks. It’s the 2nd joint behind the fingernail every time…..

    Boost and I started packing these— get them by the case at Costco— seems to have enough of something in them to give a charge and knock the hand cramps down

    In the 13th warrior, there was a scene where the Arab is seasick and scared while sailing on a viking ship.

    Someone asked, “How do you know when you become an experienced driver?”
    When you laugh at misfortunes. Six back quiet.

    Due to how the movie is cut it always seemed to me like they were laughing over “the dog can jump” joke.

    I never had the hand cramps. But the stomach explanation is right. Then add coffee. Ill only puke flem and coffee. Eat a light snack and im good to go for hours. I probably should not drink a pot of coffee per day.

    I've had the hand, calf, foot cramp. But randomly. I normally solve that with drinking water. Best advise I ever was given. The water you drink today. Is the water your body needs tomorrow.
