I take mag, and calcium and still had the same problem. That's when my doctor

put me on flexeril. It help tremendously. I will do this med until I find

something natural. I have heard of something called " calm away " sold in drug

stores.

Janie,

I have most of the symptoms that you have, I have suffered for 19 Years or more,

I was diagnosed after a near fatal car accident. Also I suffered child abuse,

inceset and 35 years of spousal abuse. When I wake and try to get up my feet and

legs feel like 100lbs the muscle spasms are so bad that I can't even touch my

legs or have anything touching my lower legs. My feet get so hot at night that I

have to have a fan on them, also I suffer restless leg syndrome, I take

carbadopa for that and it works great. I was on morphine for the pain, my dr

took  me off and said I did'nt need anything anymore. that was crap, I am

currently looking for a new Dr.  I take effexor and abilify because I am

bi-polar and the pain causes the depression to be worse. I also take 2000mg of

vitamin d, wich helps with my fatique. I have terrible degenerataive joint

desease have had 2 surgeries on my neck. My lower back is so bad that I can't

stand for more than 5 minutes. I have

siatica, when I rub my back in the tail bone area I get really bad tingling in

my lets. I have to force myself to get up in the morning in order for the

pressure to ease up in my calves. my muscles in my calves never stop spasming. I

get muscle spasms in my diaphrame and can't hardly breath sometimes, I have a

rare lung disease and it is not very treatable, and brain damage from the car

accident. So brain fog is extreme, I forget things in a minute, I have to write

everything down all the time,can't remember what I did yesterday unless I think

about it. It is all very frustrating. I had a hystorectomy when I was 35 due to

cancer, 2 breast surgeries for lumps, and 2 colon surgeries due to tumors, I

have had 15 surgeries since my car accident since 1992, I have tried so many

things, now I just try to go with what works. I do light walking, rice heat

packs, the best for heat for relief. hot baths. I tried requip for restless leg

s. but I couldn't take it,

I walk in my sleep and that made it worse, I have yet to try learyca but am

trying to get it to try. I have found that this disease can effect alot of

things in you body, I have an immune deficency, I get sick very easy, the

restless leg with sound off the fibro, wich will cause migraines,if real bad

causes myofacial pain. The whole body hurts. I have turn gluten away, it can

cause an eruption of my fibro. I have certain things that I eat, I have gained 

over 65lbs due to steroids for my lung, now I am pre diabetic, Have lost 35lbs.

That has helped my legs somewhat. I take care not to do to much when I feel good

so as not to have an erupting of the fibro the next day, I take my time in

everything I do. It is hard cause  used to be a supermom and work aholica. I

still is hard for me to settle down when I feel good. I have a sleep disorder

from the pain, I don't sleep but more than 3 hours a nite, then on the 5th day I

just crash, I tried the sleep

apena machine and it didn't work, so I am on oxygen at night because I shallow

breath. . I have never found a complete answer for the fibro or restless leg.

But I will try what I can. If you have any questions let me know.  I don't have

all the answers but I certainly can valedate how you feel, and sometimes might

have something that works. Thanks for reading and confirming my feelings too.
