Ya know?? Ever since I can remember, my teacher and my mom always called me ants in the pant. Yes, I couldn't be still in my leg which always constantly shifting. When I was in middle school, that's when my muscle cramp in my leg at night. It called charlie horse or nacturnal(night) cramp. It can be so extremely painful that I woke up in the middle of night. So painful that I do forget how to breath. Once I realize I was holding my breath(that was much later), I tried so hard to remind myself to breath when that happens. I scream for my daddy. Poor him, so helpless and didn't know what to do.
When I was in college, I slept with my ex. I woke up so suddenly as I grab my leg. My ex woke up and asked me what's wrong. I told him I got cramp in my leg. That's when he start gentle message in my leg and that took care of it and heal so fast!
When I'm no longer with him, I tried to message myself. It didn't work. I feel like the pain is ongoing and never ends. Once the pain stop. I really hate to get up in the morning because the sore feels same pain as the cramp everytime I walk. As I continue to walk, the pain goes away.
I remember when I first saw on tv commerical about restless leg sydrome(RLS). It was perfect description for it. However, that pill is when u have RSL almost everyday. I don't. It is only like once a month or two.
Other day, I was in a car and my mom was driving. I bobbing my right leg which it does happen many times in the past. My mom always asked me what's wrong? I said nothing is wrong. Then she asked me if I'm nervous, upset, or stress? She tends to determined that I'm one of them. Like, when there's exam, she dertermined that I'm stressing. When there's isn't anything in situation, she determined that I'm upsetting about something. It was really frasurated that none of them are true!! My mom is ually grab my leg and tell me to stop it so I managed to contol it so that's why it wasn't everyday.
One day, I did bobbing my leg and didn't relize I was doing it until my mom asked me what's wrong. Right there and then I knew what it was... I told her that was RLS!!!!!!! My mom was surprised! She said is that what it is? My respond, "yes!"
Until about three or four months ago, I feel tangle(sp?) and nearly numb in my finger tips. It is annoying. I have to put my hands down. Sometimes it works and other time, it didn't. Now it's starting to spreading in my arms. When I'm busy, like cooking, folding, or anything that I'm busy on table, I feel tangling. So I have to stop and put my arms down until circluation is better. It going back and forth. At night, both of my arms feels same as my legs as in RLS. No matter, how many toss and turns and different postions of my sleep isn't working.
So I looked up in the internet, saying might be lack of calium, or posstium(contain in banana) or water. I've drink a lot of water and I notice it did reduce my muscle cramp over few years, until, it came back. However, I still have RSL even I didn't have cramp. I've been talking multi-vitiamns including caluium and iron. My muscle cramp came back and in my arms are annoying.
Appearently, I need to visit doctor. For could be nerves system or throyiod deases, those what internet said. Or could be nothing.... But best for me to go and check by professional.
