Hello. I'm sorry about your nightly leg cramps. These cramps are a symptom of peripheral neuropathy, which I also have. I only get leg cramps occasionally at night, but also get them just from pointing my foot to get my shoes on. I wonder if gabapentin would help you with the symptoms of neuropathy-worth asking your primary care physician about it.

@neurojudy There can be other causes as well. I have evening leg cramps that have been diagnosed as being restless leg syndrome. I have had it under control previously with a combination of Horizant (time release version of gabapentin approved for RLS) and the Neupro patch. More recently I have stopped using the patch and instead have been using the NIDRA machine. I have also, the last few days, been trying to cut back on the Horizant.
