I got muscle cramps so bad in my calves that I thought someone was trying to crush my bones. Another time cramps and spasms at the same time in both legs I couldn’t walk. I went off the methotrexate and they all stopped. I do know that RA and or its medications will deplete your potassium and magnesium. Daughter in law is a nurse and suggested I take these two supplements. I have been and I haven’t been getting the cramps in my back around my ribs any longer. Those cramps still continued after I stopped the methotrexate. I am now starting my own therapy of nothing but natural supplements. I’m done with all the side effects and chemicals that are in these medications.

Muscle spasms is one of the many symptoms of RA. It will come & go. Taking a hot bath will help.

Yes, I used to get weird twitching and spasms at any time. Sometimes my toes or fingers would suddenly freeze. Enbral made my hips so stiff I could not walk. I saw a Rheumatologist but I was given too much medications.

I sought natural healing and never had any of the old problems I used to have. Blood tests shows Im cleared of RA now. Im pain-free now. So dont give up! If there.is a will, there is a way.

I use a variety of natural healing methods. I use sound healing, coaching, supplements and meditation. Attending meditation classes itself wont help so u do need very specific methods. You also need a coach / healer / therapist who is very well versed n experienced with working with people serious health conditions.

Im completely off all medications now n Im going for jungle n waterfall trekking in Dec. Im back at the gym for serious workout but I was unable to walk much in the past. Its good to be free from RA. I saw a specialist in the past but the meds made me extremely ill I was unable to work.

Now Im under another doctor n shes happy I got my life back. I only see her to buy supplements n nothing else. Havent been sick for a loooong time.

I was just diagnosed in February and am on prednisone and methotrexate. I get pretty shaky when I'm tired or when I need to eat. It can get pretty bad and my head will spasm. I get multiple muscle cramps in my legs every night. They start on the top of my foot and ankles and then continue up my shin and calf. Sometimes it will be in both legs at the same time. RA doc says it is not part of RA but a side effect if the prednisone and it should get better once I can taper off of that. Hugs going out to everyone on this beautiful Easter Sunday
