Most people with fibro are low in potassium and magnesium. I have been taking both for years. I also take hylands leg cramps pills. They are all natural and you can get them at Wal-Mart or any drug store. They really help the leg cramps.

That was one of my first signs of fibro as well...RLS.... just lately I forgot my medicine ... Lyrica the last one of the day and I had leg muscle spasms that would throw me from one end to the bed to the other like I was possessed so now I know my Lyrica works! ๐Ÿ˜

Yes I have those pains as well. I have to take a Potassium supplement because mine drops so bad. This helps the pain once your levels are higher. I would ask to have that checked

that was my first sign of fibro. I didn't know that many years ago. but it put things together when diagnosed. I was told reckless leg. I would take two tylonel PM. And would increase my potassium.
Advice keep track of your different symtoms. If it I not clear right now a sure diagnosis your tracking may help put the puzzle together.
