They say cramps are caused by dehydration so overnight I must have downed about half a gallon of water and an oz of salt .. nothing worked, some say mixed with water will bring results, I tried that and obtained limited success though I had none yesterday .. anyone know of other treatments or preventative measures ??

Hydration and mineral balance. Your potassium/sodium balance is out of whack. Generally cramps are from low potassium. It's also possible that you are just cramping up from exercising muscles you rarely, if ever, use.
