I haven't been on the forum much lately, but the other day I was traveling for work and realized I was staying in the same hotel where I first noticed my PM symptoms almost exactly two years ago. So, I figured it was time to check in.
Just to summarize: My first symptoms were muscle twitching and cramping followed later by some "perceived" weakness. Then about 6 months later the pain in my feet crept in. Since then, my condition has stabilized. Most days I would classify my symptoms as more “uncomfortable” than “painful”. To date, I still have no diagnosis. I’m taking Gabapentin, which seems to control the twitching and cramping quite a bit, and pain to some extent. I also take a number of different supplements. I do think they help, but I’m planning to try slowly cutting back on some of them to see if it makes a difference. I’m currently taking quite a few, and the cost is getting pretty high on a monthly basis. Other than that, I’m just continuing to pray every day for my symptoms to improve or at least remain stable. I also continue to hope that everyone else on this forum finds some comfort and improvement in their symptoms as well. I’ll try to get back in and be a little more active here going forward. But I’ve been feeling decent and the summer has been so nice here – I’ve been trying to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Fall and winter will come soon enough, and I’ll be spending more time indoors and behind the keyboard. ![]() ![]() |
