Muscle Spasms - Not dehydrated

Post round five FCR with Neulasta (this week). I am experiencing moderate spasms / muscular seizures. Has anyone had similar experiences? Suggestions for overcoming these? At their worse, they actually pulse in intensity with the beating of my heart – yes, the intensity worsens with the beating of my heart. Weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced.

Paul, where are the spasms occuring? It sounds like pulsing spasms. If it is in the upper abdominal area, it could be irregular heart beat. The heart is after all a muscle.

I hope you have contacted your CLL specialist to get advice. It does need medical attention to rule out heart issues.
