Shawna,
I'm sorry, but I have never heard of either one. Maybe, someone will
know in the group. Have you been using any type of steroids? When the
doctors were giving me steroid injections for my back, I would get
cramps in my legs every night but never for 31 hours. Have you tried
doing research on the net? I'm sorry I couldn't help but keep us
informed.
