I read something about this - but for the life of me, I cannot remember what. I think it was magnesium they recommended for this kind of leg problem. I take 900 mg of gabapentin four times a day (the maximum dose) to keep shingles away and for neuropathy. It is a great drug if you have nerve pain. I also have fibromyalgia very bad - and I think a good muscle relaxer also helps as well as the gabapentin. I also do not consume any sugar - I'm on a very strict no-sugar diet. (Sugar causes inflammation and inflammation causes disease.). I really think going off sugar helped my fibromyalgia.

What bothers me most about fibromyalgia is that many doctors still think it isn't real. It has recently been proven to be very real - as we can attest. I think there will start being some progress made in treatment now that they have established it is real. Don't let anybody dismiss you about it.
