The only thing I've tried that actually works , but I hate the way it makes me feels - kind of hot and like a pile of crap. I don't know how anyone would actually choose to take it for fun. Is there anything else that helps with nerve damage triggered spasms? Does anyone else even have this with their polyneuropathy?
I have muscle spasms but cannot directly relate it to PN.

I take this very successfully for muscle spasm....I take it only rarely,
a few times a month. It makes me sleepy so I take it only at night or I know I can lay down.
