Hi all-

I've been having a flare and been down for 5 days with the usual pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.  This morning I started getting spasms in my leg muscles.  They aren't painful, My leg just suddenly.. gets stiff and my toes curl up.  It's more annoying than anything.  Just wondered if anyone else has that symptom.  I'm wondering if it's even related to my IBS/CFS.  Thanks.

    Hi pcd, that sounds terrible! I think because so much is coming out of your body that you're developing cramps due to lack of liquid and salt maybe you should be seeing your doctor.

      Thanks for replying Sam.  The strange thing is that they don’t hurt.  All the muscles in my leg tense up  for about 10 seconds then relax.  It usually happens when I’m laying down.  There are so many weird symptoms with IBS!  I see my doc next week and I’m definitely asking about them.  

      Stay well.
