DEAR DR. GOTT: My wife and I used to use the smaller bars of soaps from motels for leg cramps in bed; however, when we turned over, the bars were no longer under our legs and we would sometimes get cramps. We solved this by grating the soap directly onto the lower portion of the mattress under the sheet. It seems to work no matter where we lie on the mattress.
DEAR READER: Thank you for sharing this helpful tip. I am passing it on to my readers in the hopes that it will help some of them as well.
