[pct-l] Muscle cramps - Hydration

[ECPG at peoplepc.com (Carolyn Eddy)]

I have a friend who has horrible muscle cramps that are not necessarily 
related to dehydration but from the imbalnce. She finds that drinking 2 
packets of Emergen-C as soon as they hit, and then every time they try to 
come back, kicks them.

Since my bout with W Nile I've developed this weird dehydration thing that 
has landed my in the hospital twice with Saline IV's. It's like the 
balancing mechanism shuts off and I dehydrate in just a matter of a day or 
so. I'm currently drinking 10 oz of gatorade mixed with 5 oz of water, 
(approx measure) daily to keep myself topped up.

I'm worried about this summer when I get warm and am hiking.
