dystonia
Greeneyes-
(lovely name, BTW)
Dystonia in left foot most mornings about 3 AM. Lasts about 30 minutes then gone. Nothing seems to hasten its passing. However, forcing it is usually a bad idea - sometimes a real bad idea as muscles knot up.
My own theory is that it is tied in to two things. Time of morning as day begins and levels of B-vitamins and electrolytes. All are water soluble so monitor urine output to know when to take extra.
Nice to have you stop by. You are welcome here.
