Does Anyone With Fibromyalgia Have Body Cramps?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I get bad cramps sometimes and they’re not always in my legs. I get them in my hands, abdomen, breast bone and up and down my legs. The worse ones are from the top of my foot all the way up my shin bone to my knee. These usually happen at night and it doesn’t always help right away to get out of bed and stand up. They are so painful. Does anyone else have cramps?

Experienced bad cramps to both my feet during the night. They were so bad, I fell to the floor and almost lost consciousness. My kids had to call ambulance. My potassium and magnesium levels had dropped for some reason. I was on IV drip for 2 hours. Crazy!! no explanation as to why this happened.

I take quinine pills and drink a lot of water. It helps but doesn't prevent them my hands and feet feel awful.

I get them on the top of my foot, up my ankle to calf... mine is from neuropathy and happens mostly when I’m asleep. I got the neuropathy from when I had shingles. Prior to that, I never had it.

Yes I get them pretty bad. Try to stay hydrated it seems to help. Gentle hugs.
