If you take any type of diuretic, it is almost  certainly potassium 
deficiency.  Even if you don't, that's still probably the case.  If it starts 
happening often, you need to see a doc or a nurse practitioner     ( 
potassium also affects the electrical impulses that run the powerplant in 
your chest).  You have to be careful supplementing potassium on your own.  
Those side affects can be ...er...lethal.  You can get a 90 day supply of 
generic potassium horse pills from walmart for $12 bucks, but you need a 
scrip.  
If this not a regular problem, you probably just became dehydrated 
yesterday--while you were outside , in the heat, sitting on the porch, 
thinking about all of the work you are going to talk Don into doing.

Yea, I read Tom Sawyer, too........bobford
