Have to agree with Cayo, nothing is normal with this cruddy disease.

Of course, in some cases you can have fun with it. I always joke about picking up radio stations with my legs when I start getting electrical zaps down them. Someone made a good suggestion about L'Hermittes Sign... put on some metal music and headbang to it

Regarding your legs... it may be the colder weather and your body adjusting, or maybe you need another blanket on your legs while in bed? Sometimes you need to play around until you find your happy medium.

A lot of people have back problems with MS, and often it is due to sitting or walking awkwardly during the day.

My suggestion would be to go to a physiotherapist (who knows about MS), and have him assess the problem. I have a PT guy, who I refer to as "my angel", because he has been fixing me up for the last 25 yrs. Sometimes it is the MS directly, so he massages and uses TENS AROUND the sore area, and sometimes it is other problems, like tendonitis, tummy strengthening exercises required, back alignment, etc.

My whole body locks up over night, especially in the winter. I wake up and walk around like Frankenstien for the first 30 min or so. If I stretch while standing, I go into tremors. I just move very slowly and stretch (while sitting!!!).

My thumbs lock and pop every time I try to bend them. I have no idea what that is about, and have asked on the forums before. Doesn't seem there are too many people with this problem though.

Agree with the others about this being a wacky disease.

My bod is a great predictor of weather changes these days. I know it's humid out if I get muscle spasms. I know it's cold out when my muscles tighten.

I have problems with my knees due to other reasons. One damaged in a car accident, the other in dropping a motorcycle trying to learn to ride. So I'm never quite sure which to blame for the stiffness and popping I get there.

I do know that in winter I put on a light extra blanket under my covers to help with the spascity (sp?). Light so I can kick it off in my sleep if I get too hot.

Hope you feel better soon.
