Patrick, About four years ago I started having more than the occasional cramp, mainly in my feet. Research lead me to try taking supplements (potassium and magnesium) along with my daily banana. I now rarely have any type of cramp and have ditched the banana (don't need the extra sugar) altogether. I gotta say those cramps in my feet were awful. As for barefoot cycling you might want to give this https://www.altrarunning.com/ a look. Great shoes. Pricey, but worth it IMO. I'm not sure if any of this is related to your condition(s), but it might be worth a look. Hope you get it resolved soon I can relate. Best, Clyde
