I came across this article in the Wall Street Journal today on preventing muscle cramps that I thought interesting:

Interesting article. I eat quite a bit of spicy foods almost daily and I have never had muscle cramps before or with CML. I have had low magnesium levels from Sprycel and I did have lots of fast muscle switching (triceps, biceps, shoulders, back) which stopped after I started supplementing magnesium. Could be coincidence but seems like muscle twitching was my bodies way of reacting to low magnesium levels.
