What I don't understand is why my back muscle spasms only occur in my sleep, when the spasms in my arms, legs, face, abdomen and feet occur while I am awake and functioning for the day? Still waiting to hear back from my neuro.....

Do you have a cane or some other aid to help you balance? I rarely use my cane anymore except when I go out to places like a restaurant or somewhere I don't have a shopping cart to hold onto.
