For about the past 10 years every now and again i would get a severe cramp in my left calf. (especially in bed) So much so that some times i would pass out from the pain.
Since my diognose of PLS these have almost vanished, the ones i do get are no where as intense as before. I do get now the occasional cramp in my thumbs when i try and hold small things tightly.
A couple of things come to mind,
was the cramps a early sign of PLS (it would fit in with the diagnosed.) and
as i am taking a range of vitimins (not as much Mag and Pot. as Judith though) is that reducing them to a managable level?
One thing though i do know is, no 2 people are the same with symptoms etc with MND. every one has somthing different. No wonder it is hard to pin the sucker down.
cheers
