I may sound totally ignorant here, b/c I do not have MS, I have MG, but when my meds, etc., caused terrible muscle spasms, my neuro recommended potassium. Again, I do not know a whole lot about MS, but am hoping that (maybe) this will help!

Did your neuro want to do a doppler on your leg? When I had my calf problems, he was worried about blood clots and made me go in that day............

Hope this helps!
Take care!
Erin

Same here. It may get up to 65, but my bones are saying it's October, and it's cold out there somewhere.



Erin - that's not a bad idea, potassium.

*sprinkling a bit in Flygirl's brownies*


I think you're right about stuff catching up with you. If you don't want to go back up on the meds, can you try cinamon or ginger? Once I get to my med limit if I still have problems, I'll do one or the other of those and they help.

Good luck.

I will get leg spasms in the am, but nothing like that and not that long.

Holy freak'n cow!

Say...have you been eating you bananas and drinking your OJ?

Glad to hear you will be in touch with your Clinical Trial Doc.

Let me know what they think.

Try to rest!

I thought you was going to say you mixed OJ and something to make something. I think there is something out there like that!

OUCH FG!!!!

I get leg cramps/spasms in my R leg and they are so painful, but I've never had bruising. Please don't mess around and self DX yourself. I say, Get thyself to the Dr if it's not considerably better in the morn.

SMACK!

No cramps last night. Leg is still very sore from the previous two nights and I am not going into the shop today. Yes, you all heard that right.
