both calfs feel stiff and crampy, i haven't done anything different, and i've had a relatively bad headache (but not big enough to call it a migraine) all day.

anyone else have similar feelings ever? i just want to be aware of what it might progress into

my calves cramped like that for w hile, but that's all that happened. no headache.

it went away after a while.

I am having the same issues, try stretching really good and see how you feel afterwards. I stretch, took my hair out of the pony tail and lay down for a min, than try to forget I am not feeling good so i can get up and attend to my kids

Taking Magnesium will help. I take a large dose it has helped so much

this was the begining of symptoms for me with MS. I went to Dr after Dr. Even seen 15 of the 40 Drs I worked for about it. They all chopped it up to bad knees and maybe coming from my back. (although I never had back pain)

It wasnt till I was dx with MS that it clicked to me and was confirmed it was MS. I cant tell you what to do to make it better. I still dont know. I did take ativan at night that help me sleep thur the night. I then got on pain meds which helped easy the pain but not take it away. I know longer take these things because I believed it helped alter my mind. Ruining my life.

The ONLY thing that I have found that has helped is IV steroids. My first treatment of that made me feel like I felt when I was 18. It lasted months even a yr. It is slowly starting to get worse again. But what can you do? You cant take IV steroids every week.

So if you find something other than exercise everyday, stretching or tons of pills let me know. I do exercise and stretch daily but honestly I cant do that everyday due to lack of energy.
