Hi all

Here's a general question regarding leg cramps and blood clots.

I've been getting semi-cramps in my calves on and off for about a week now, mostly at night before going to sleep. I can feel them starting, then I flex a bit and they go away again.

Now my concern is, since reading up about it, is that leg cramps could possibly be a sign of vein problems, narrowing, thromboses or whatever else, and could lead to blood clots in the veins, which in turn could be lethal.

Now, since we are all screwing with our bodies I know we are all taking chances to a degree, however what I'd like to known is whether there are any of you who have experienced this too while being on PM and whether you have taken counter measures to prevent this.

I've been contemplating taking one asprin every morning to thin my blood somewhat, just as a safety measure against the possibility of blood clots. Do you think I should, or is there another alternative, or should I not be concerned about this?
