I have been to my docs this week with the same thing. He gave me some pills called baclofen but only 20mg as they can react with amitryptiline

I used to get horrible cramps in my legs at night so I eat a banana a day... I am now totally sick of them but I look on them as a medicine and the cramps only happen very rarely if I stop eating them the cramps come back.... I really didn't think it would work , but it does for me....

My eyelids twitch an sort of flicker sometimes but my legs are terrible when i am resting. Last night i was sat in my comfy chair with my feet up on my poufee watching corrie with the OH and daughter when my right leg suddenly twitched so violently and suddenly that my slipper flew off and hit the dog! I thoght my OH and little girl would need medical attention as they laughed themselves silly...mind you, the dog didnt look too impressed! Charlii xx

Morning kugagirl. Yep I get the twitches too. Some days I know are going to be twitchier than others because of how tight and painful my body feels. Quite wacky sometimes! I get lots of chuckles from their occurance, just like charli's family. Not sure if I have any helpful tips, sorry. But for me it definitely goes with my pain and fatigue level. I'm going to give VG's advice and make sure I eat a banana a day. Maybe it has something to do with our potassium levels?? Hope you have a good day today. S x

I also have the twitches and restless legs syndrome. I put up with it for a long time before mentioning it to my GP. He prescribed a drug called Ropinerol, it worked for my RLS and made a little difference to my twitches. I have just increased the dose, on GP's orders as the twitches during the day were getting worse. My leg jerked so violently a few weeks ago our smallest cat flew off my knee!!

Hope you get the help you need,

[Kugagirl1 in reply to San229]

Are you all taking or bathing in magnesium? I take one magnesium with calcium (from boots) at night and use Epson salts (from amazon) I'm my bath. I don't get the twitches and cramps then. Don't know why but our magnesium levels

seem to be affected....

Be careful if your blood pressure is low though. Magnesium can lower it further

[Kugagirl1]

Hi stepper : ive got to slipped disc's in my back & a prolapsed spine so cant get in bath sadly but again ill put it on list for tablet firm an as my GP every little helps , glad it works for u its good when u find something that works gives u a boost . Xx

Ive just had a read on your info page , hope u don't mind but like to put a person to the messages as my memory is atrocious Especially with names. Id b interested in leaning more about alternative as my body reacts badly to drugs ,i:e Morphine patches made my sick an Hallucinate i was naked in the living room talking to my Mom who had past away 2 years prier , not a good look so anything u have the time an Of course energy to pas on would b appreciated s & the IBS diet ? I know we r all different but sometimes they r the same . Xx

Thanks in advance , but if u cant don't worry i wouldn't wont u to use up what bit of energy u have on stuff for me u have to preserve it , hope this finds u on a good day kugagirlxx

If you can't get in a bath.....use epson salts in a foot bath.... a bowl of hot water on the floor.... Works just as well.

The tonic water thing is because it has quinine in it
