OK, so is this due to Fibro or Chronic Myofacial Pain Syndrome? The weather will cause me to start twitching like a frog on a hot plate! I have actually jerked so hard my entire body has come up off the bed a good 4 inches! I have jerked/twitched so badly I couldn't speak or walk. It's gotton worse with the CYMBALTA but if I don't take the CYMBALTA my body sets up like concrete and the pain becomes intolerable.
Since then I have been diagnosed with restless leg, but I also get them when I'm awake now too.
The first time it got me really bad was a reaction to some med I was on. It was an antibiotic. Can't think of the name at the moment. I was like a fish out of water for like a week just laying there flopping. Man, that was irritating... and painful.
I was/still am already on Zanaflex, but during that time I ended up stuck with 2 different muscle drugs and alternating them like every 3 hours or something like that.
I'm back with just high doses of the Zanaflex now and it's not too bad, but I have some problem areas that act up now and then from old injuries... and the sleep ones still.
As for the dizzyness that was just mentioned, I get that a lot too. A lot of times it's when the pain is bad, but I think some of it has to do with the meds I'm on too.
