Thank you all. I will try everything I hate them so much! I just wear flat shoes with a thin sole to drive. The cramps mostly come after the driving and not during.

Malka they wake me up too. Was hopping round in the middle of night in agony

I really feel for you as I suffer VERY badly -mostly at night
I cant find a pattern as to when they come-they just happen

My toes sort of separate and sometimes my whole foot seems to spasm and turn to the right
They are REALLY painful
I also get them in my legs

I usually just put my foot on the floor,but often they start again as soon as I get back in bed

I have very flat feet -didnt know whether that had anything to do with them?
Thank you for all the helpful suggestions and will certainly try them
I dread getting them when Im driving -luckily thats never happened -up to now

[With apologies for inserting the missing "m" in "cramps" in your quote ]

Hopping around at night is obviously out of the question for me, hence those anti-cramp pills close to hand. I was rather sceptical as to whether they would work or not so was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually do.
