I have fibromyalgia, and at night after I sit down for a while, I get the worst muscle cramps in both legs, especially in my thighs, and my right thigh is the worst. I can actually see the muscles twitch. I am already on a postassium supplement, so I know it s not that. I have tried the heating pad, but it helps only a little bit. Is there anything else I can do, or is there a vitamin or supplement that can help me? Thank You for your time.
Standard therapy is a nerve damper like Robin, pregabalin, gabapentin or amitriptyline. Also, muscle relaxants perhaps anti-inflammatories. Stay the heck away from any narcotics in any former is not convincing way to differentiate fibromyalgia from depression so anti-depressants work in the vast majority. And exercise and ways of changing one's relationship to movement activity and pain.
