Hi Bev @A MyFibroTeam Member

Do you sometimes have muscles that tighten up and won't relax no matter what you do? That's called a muscle spasm, and a lot of people with fibromyalgia have this problem. In fact, some researchers consider it a major source of our pain.

Spasms are different from muscle twitches, which are brief and usually painless. When a muscle spasms, it clenches tight and stays that way.

Spasms can be painful for anyone, and they're worse for those with fibromyalgia because of a symptom called hyperalgesia, which is the name for the way our nervous systems amplify pain signals.

I developed arthritis in 2007. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1994. I have been told that once you have one autoimmune disorder it is common to develop another. Hopefully you won’t develop arthritis but just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you never will. Sorry to share the bad news.

Yes, I get cramps too. But after drinking some pickle juice, they seem to decrease

I used to get cramp in my legs all the time but drinking tonic water really does help but I still get it in my feet xXx
