Re: cramping and leg jerking

[Guest guest]

Have you considered that you might have Restless Leg Syndrome (R.L.S.)

I, too, had the same troubles with my legs jerking at night. It got

so bad that I couldn't sleep. My legs jerked all over the place and it

wasn't relieved when I got up to walk. I now take Requip and I no

longer have the problem with my legs jerking at night. I don't like

to take medication, but it has helped relieve the symptoms and as you

know, adequate sleep is very important for CMT'ers. I also get

the jumping in my thigh muscles, usually in the evenings before I go

to bed. I call it " my frogs jumping " as you can literally see the

muscle jump through my skin.
