Hi- New to this site but so happy I've found you all. Great to think im not going mad - well not yet anyway. ;-) Suffered from growing pains as a child as did my mother and now my daughter. My sister, brother and son are fine so often wonder why and hope some kind of cure will be found before my daughter reaches my age(46) she is 23 now.

I had years of the odd twitches usually monthly and then in both pregnancies but then for the last 10 years ive suffered in my legs, arms,shoulders, neck and chest. Not constantly thank god but as I suffer with sleep problems it can be a huge problem. Not on any meds yet and luckily do find Tonic Water can help sometimes.

Absolutely dread going to concerts , flying or anywhere that involves sitting for even a short period as know it will trigger off and spoil my night. Have punched every part of my body on bad nights whilst crying as it really comes on bad. Tried baths, showers , sex, bar of soap in bed, exercise before, no exercise, no tea, no coffee, no alcohol, walking on cold floors, etc but when a bad bout it comes and its here to stay and wont go whatever I try.

Hope that with us all sharing our experiences and being there to support each other that someone may find something to help as I know how it feels to feel so tired and desperate.

Hi everyone -I'm new to this site as well, and so glad I found it. Glad to know I'm not going mad, kicking furniture and punching legs and feet ... and crying. I've had odd spasms of it for years but recently -last few months - it's got very much worse. I've not had a proper sleep for a while, and I'm very unpleasant to be near! Am trying to find out what I'm doing differently recently and eliminate it, but with no luck. With your tips and support I hope I can stop it spreading from my legs to other bits of my body.

Thank you all for your generosity in sharing your experiences.

Not what you're looking for?
