What Causes Severe Cramps In The Muscles?

I suffer severe muscle cramps. They can strike any muscle at any time of the day, although most frequently when I am sitting or laying down. The cramps are quite severe. They can twist my feet and hands. I am at a loss to understand why. My blood analysis shows no deficiencies, and I stay well hydrated.
