One pain doc gave me some quinine to help that. I was experiencing much the same thing. Now, I take a Valium prior to going to bed and that helps a lot.

you can try magnesium. That helps control your muscles. Also, heat and muscle relaxants wil become your best friend. I tend to use moist heating pads anytime I have a spasm or feel one coming on. Moist heating pads work a lot better than regular heating pads. Hot baths are good too. Also, icy hot and bengay have patches that help.

I use magnesium, tablets and in an epsom salt soak in the tub. Have they checked your magnesium level?

my muscle spasms have been getting worse too, not having to do a thing to bring one on. I already take 13 pills a day including morphine, hydrocodone and flexeril to name a few. haven't found anything to help I just breath slowly when they start and try to do as little as possible until they subside. i wish I knew something to help you and me both. hope you get some relief soon.

What meds are you on?? That's the first place to look, especially if you've just started one or increased the doseage.

Also, I agree about the magnesium and want to put a plug in for vitamin D3. Both are vital for muscle function and pain control.

I have the same problem and have been having it for a long time. I have mentioned it, kind of to my docs and they don't really follow up on it, so I stopped mentioning it. I just realized I hadn't been having that happen for a while when I started spasming a couple of days ago. I am on a lot of drugs so I don't know if one of them is responsible for the lessened spasming or if its cause I sleep better than I used to. But quinine and magnesium are both good cures for muscle problems. I was told the best combo is 2 parts magnesium to 1 part calcium. These two vitamins help each other be absorbed properly, but are usually found in the opposite strength - 2 part Cal to 1 part Mag. If you decide to try it, just remember the right strength. Good luck and if you figure out something better, be sure to let us know! hugs jilly

was gonna give some advise but everything I was gonna say has already been said...plus a good massage therapist in ur line of defense !!
just remember to #1 find one that deals with FM
#2. Drink Plenty of lemon water before and After each massage...these can get quite painful and you can get sick while detoxing...the water Really helps flush out the toxins !
#3. give massage therapy time to work...you are Not there for ur pleasure [as you will find out}...it Does help tho if you can stick with it ! not everyone can...

I forgot to mention that you should take magnesium with vitamin c (or calcium as Jilly pointed out). If you do take it with calcium, be careful of kidney stones. I like taking the magnesium with vitamin c because that helps it be absorbed correctly and also the vitamin c helps boost my weak immune system. I hope this, along with everyone else's input, helps you!

ZANAX,VALIUM, AND KIND OF BENZODIAZIPAM WILL HELP ALOT. LOTS OF DOCS DONT LIKE TO PRESCRIBE BECAUSE SO ADDICTIVE BUT I HAVE FOUND ONLY THING THAT WORKS. AND FLEXERIL IS A JOKE.

I have suffered with musscle spasams for a while and i was put on Requip for my rls and it sems to have really helped with the spasams to which is def a bonus x

I get muscle spasms as well.They are worse at night.Can't get comfortable laying down, and standing or walking doesnt help either.Drives me insane.
