One Physiatrist told me to take electrolytes for my muscle spasms. It took me years to learn what she meant most of all was that I take Magnesium (plus some others). I can't take magnesium supplements, but in other posts with Mayo's support groups I was told of a topical magnesium lotion or gel. I'm planning to buy some time soon and give that a try. It's worth it, for me to find things/supplements that I'm not loading up on my kidney's or stomach.
