Tizanidine has helped my muscle cramps but I purposely take a small dose of 1mg instead of the prescribed 2mg… I take it before bed and it helps so much!
I first had COVID in December of 2020. I was sick for one month and ran a fever of 101-102 for 2 solid weeks. No hospitalization, though. I began having muscle factions in my arms that has now moved to my legs. They often turn into full blown cramps if I can’t stretch them out. This usually happens after I go to bed. My sleep is interrupted every night! Does anyone have suggestions?!
Hi @lfi56d. My nurse friend suggested teaspoon of mustard and know histamine intolerance can be issue so checking into your personal reactions first helpful and hope brings you relief!🌈
My husband and my dad both suffer from long-COVID tremors. Dad was given propranolol but he read the side effects list and took one (he's kind of a novice with medications) and decided not to take any more. So we don't know if it would have helped. My husband seems to complain about the tremors most when he's tired or trying to do fine work with his hands. He has found that a little caffeine (like tea or ½-caf coffee) tends to slow the tremors a bit.
The muscle spasms drop me to the floor. I never had this. It happens without warning. I would be interested to see how anyone captures this type of issue and tames it.
