I am not sure if it's related to lupus or not. I get really bad muscle spasms mostly in my legs..so bad it brings me to tears. I do get them sometimes in my abdomen as well. My hands/fingers and toes cramp up at time as well. Just wondering if anyone else has had this. I do drink alot of water so I don't think it's from dehydration. ...
This site is a god send so nice to be able to discuss with people who can relate.
Vitamin D also works for me. I was deficient in vitamin D and didn't know it till I got tested for vitamin D deficiency.
I had bad cramps also. They're much better now. Good luck😀
Try magnesium (and calcium) supplements for legs that cramp. It works for me!
I am a RN & used to get terrible body cramps after working several 12 hour shifts in a row. They start in my toes & progress up my body. The only thing that works for me is pickle juice. About 3/4 cup usually gets them to subside almost instantly. I am no longer working the long hard shifts in a hospital but still occasionally get the cramps during the night.
I ask my local grocery store deli for pickle juice & they give me a large container @ no charge.
I take vit D, Calcium/magnesium, drink lots of water. I have no problem walking. The cramps last minutes. If they last long enough and r bad enough, I’m very sore at that location the next day.
I’m going to try Vit E.
I just recently got a bad cramp in my thigh that lasted hours seems like. Went to Er and they found nothing of course! I don't know why it did it but I do not want it to come back.
