Hi there.

I'm reading the posts on this thread. Feel for the both of you. Do me a favor (this has nothing to do with taking any drugs by the way). If you have some epsom salts in the house, tonight before you go to bed, take a cup of epsom walts, put in a basin of hot water (not enough to burn of course) and soak your feet for 20 minutes. Dry off and go to bed. Repeat this every night. Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate and magnesium helps spasms. It did for me. At the worst, you'll have soft feet when you retire. At the best, you just might see your spasms subside a bit. Can't hurt to try.

And (and don't think I'm nuts) but you can google what I'm going to tell you. People with severe muscle spasms are prompted to take a bar of soap (I use Ivory) and take the wrapper off and place an unused bar of soap between the mattress and the sheet. No one ever figured out why this works but it does. I attended a monthly Neuropathy support group meeting and many of us had muscle spasms, cramping the lower legs, in the toes, etc. And when I mentioned the soap EVERYONE knew about it and said "Oh yeah, I've heard of that". And we now all do this. So two things I'm suggesting here. Put a bar of soap between the mattress and the sheet, and soak your feet in a really nice and warm epsom salt basin and let's see what happens.

Can't hurt and just might help.

Sincerely,

Melody
