Hi all. New to the forum. I have both Fibro and RA. Since I was diagnosed with RA in 2016, I started to ignore the Fibro because I thought of it as a less dangerous issue. However, lately my RA has been under control (thankfully due to a great med), but my Fibro is acting up. All my muscles hurt and I've also been having severe spasms in my lower back. Muscle relaxants don't help, even high doses. I've also tried high doses of ionic magnesium which also doesn't help (but I take it anyway since Magnesium is so important for muscles). Some days (like all of this week), I cant walk more than 200 steps without going into full spasm. It's really impacted my life and led to weight gain which makes the spasms worse. Vicious cycle.
Do you all get muscle spasms and what do you do for them? Thanks.
