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.

@janett18 I have had fibromyalgia since the 90,s then still it was all in my head to all Dr,s except my rheumatologist . I went to a group and was told that even by doing isometric exercises will help relax the muscles. I still do this and use a TENS unit for my back this relaxes the muscles. I take 450mg to 600mg of magnesium a day , When I overdue it it is the 600 for a day or two then back to the 450 and My lab work is within normal limits for fibro so that tells me I needed more the what the RDA says.
