Are they IBS cramps or cramps in legs and everywhere?

Make sure you are hydrated.

Add some vinegar to your diet and see if that helps.

Best wishes.

Yup....charlie horses upon waking up.
IBS cramping about every other day that makes me sweat.
PCOS cramping from bursting cysts in my ovaries.

Other things...my muscles don't relax if I use them too long or carry something too heavy...they lock up on me.

And I often have muscle spasms and eye twitches.

I'm just a whole bowl full of fun!

Yes! I get horrible cramps in odd places. Thighs are the worst, but feet too. I have to hop into a hot shower, sometimes clothed, to relieve the pain. If I do anyting different, wear different shoes or walk on uneven ground, it is worse. If my legs get cold, brings it on. I also take potassium and magnesium.

I am not a couch potato, so cannot attribute it to that.

Also have IBS pain occassionally.

Sorry everyone that i forgot to explain where i was getting these cramps i wrote this message at 130am this morning guess this teaches me not to be writing posts this late LOL.anyways my cramps are in my feet toes legs hands arms and abdomen .I forgot to mention that my vitamin levels were normal.I drink 2 to 3 liters of water a day so i no im hydrated.Thanks ladies for your input

I get them in my hands as well. Sometimes my muscles just sits and vibrates, trying to decide if it wants to go into full spasm mode. I also get them in my back occassionally, but not abdomen, except in one area due to IBS.

I too hydrate and my vitamin levels are good. I wish there were someting I could do. They keep me froim sleeping sometimes, wake me from a dead sleep, or hit me while I am in the yard or elsewhere. Even have had them happen while out.

Once I hobbled into a restuarant and asked for a hot towel, Went into the bathroom and applied it to my thigh. Nobody got it. The people just thought I was weird.

Hey, maybe I am. :-)

Are you getting enough exercise? I've found I get cramps when I allow my muscles to get weak - it's kind of like they are saying "use me" when I don't use them enough.

I'm not talking about heavy stuff - just light strength building that keeps some muscle tone.

Yes i get enough exercise as im working again at home support so im always on my feet and helping clients get dressed etc so im always moving.

Wow my other thought would have been magnesium or potassium and you're already doing that.

I'm having ongoing issues with muscle spasms from a trigger point at the site of a decades-old injury that has come back to haunt me now. I hope you and I both get relief soon as I know how painful the spasms can be.

Hopefully somebody will have more ideas.

Thank you hope you feel better real soon too.These cramps are awful they get so bad that sometimes i have tears rolling down my face cause they wont let up i ll rub them out then 2 seconds later its back again but worse so then i have a hot shower to try and get rid of them and that works for a wile but then there back again.Ho hum oh well rather put up with the cramps than the feeling of being ran over by a mack truck or ran over by a steem roller.

I get them too, I just chalk it up to yet another pain in the ...well, everything...that fibro has to offer.
