For the past couple of nights, when I get in bed my feet (especially) start cramping up and hurting more within several minutes. What a wonderful lullaby! Now I'm back out of bed as a pain reliever. Grrrr.

I guess I am just nervous to see my neuro tomorrow. If I got my MRI Thurs aft, how soon can I expect results, I can't remember? Pretty soon, I would think. I'm going to at least get my neuro to speed-refer me to the rheumatologist for that fibro eval. As of now, the earliest appt that rheumy has is 11/5. Not soon enough!

im finding that although for the last couple of weeks the pain in my legs has been unbearable..sigh...when i try to lay down...it intensifys..damn did i actually spell that one right?? grin..
i would have thought that laying down would have helped by taking the pressue off..but nope..does not help at all...but then again..we are dealing with pain that comes from the CNS system...sigh...at this point im ready to sign up for anything and everything..just for a few hours of pain free...sigh..

luv

I think I have RLS.. I can never sit still for too long, even though I'm on meds my legs get real jumpy if I have to sit for more than an hour.. the meds help me knock out for the night.. but I always wake up with my legs hurting or feeling sleepy. I think my legs kick and twitch all night and don't let me get adequet rest!

the muscle cramps are the worst feet, thigh muscles-the kind that makes you think you are getting knife stuck in your leg
solution work it out by massage or walking it out.

I have been getting painful charlie horses when I lay down and stretch out. MS related? Who knows!
