Hugs, spasms stink!

When I get the big ones in my legs it is always at night. The bad ones last anywhere from 10-15-20 minutes long. I also cannot move my leg at all because it makes them start again.

They are better now as I take Klonopin 0.5 mg and 40 mg of Baclofen before bedtime along with my mix of other meds.

I try to stretch a little during the day if I feel tight. It's impossible to do so for me once they start. And it absolutely messes with my sleep if they happen at night.

I found that putting heat on the back of my legs when I was lying down on the bed before sleeping seemed to help a bit.

I have the myoclonic jerks in my legs but I am getting used to them during the day. I can take the Baclofen up to 5 times a day but I try not to use it unless I really have to do so during the day. I want that big bang of a punch for night time so I can sleep.

I was having terrible sleep issues for about 5 weeks and part of it was due to the horrendous spasms. I can now mostly sleep through the night.

Good luck,
