{HELLO CINDY}**Re: Spasms

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

For a long time I was having very hard ,almost violent muscle spams in my low

back on the left side.

They were so intense it would cause my whole body to jerk.

Many times it would happen when I was trying to go sleep.

I'd jerk so hard that my legs would actually come up off the mattress an inch

or two.

There were times that I would have them every few seconds for hours at a time.

When it would finally stop I'd be totally exhausted and so sore that I could

hardly move for several days.

My doctor finally gave me something that has stopped them from happening.

I take a muscle relaxer called CYCLOBENZAPRINE .

I take a 10 mg tablet three times a day

I've had very good results from them.

When I take them I do not have the spasms like I did.

The spasms are either very mild ,or I do not have them at all.

I hope that this information has been of some help to you.

MAY YOU HAVE A BETTER DAY TODAY THAN YESTERDAY AND NOT AS GOOD A DAY AS

TOMORROW.

TAKE AS BEST CARE AS YOU CAN AND BE SAFE.

Do any of you have spasm that cause jerky or uncontrolled movements in

your muscles? I have been having these now for quite a while and I

don't know if it is a nerve problem or just what is causing these

spastic, jerky muscle movements. I can have them anywhere in my body

but they are most noticeable in my hands and arms. I will be typing

away and all of a sudden my fingers will jerk off the keys or my hand

will send the mouse flying across the screen. Sometimes I even click

the mouse keys without meaning to do so. I frequently will have

spasms at night when I first try to sleep. Then I will twitch and

jerk for a while before relaxing enough to sleep. Any ideas about

what is causing this? It is getting very aggravating!!
