Found this on muscle spasms causes. You may want to read.


Common Causes Return to top

Muscle spasms can cause cramps and are usually brought on by the following:

* Muscle fatigue
* Heavy exercise
* Dehydration
* Pregnancy
* Hypothyroidism
* Depleted magnesium or calcium stores or other metabolic abnormalities
* Alcoholism
* Kidney failure leading to uremia
* Medications

Muscle twitching may lead to cramping and may involve the following:

* Benign, nonpathologic fasciculations (not caused by disease or disorders)
o Often affecting the eyelids, calf or thumb
o Commonly triggered by stress, anxiety
* Diet deficiency
* Side effects of drugs, especially diuretics or caffeine

More serious causes of fasciculations -- such as motor neuron disease, muscle diseases, or denervation -- are usually accompanied by weakness and atrophy of the affected muscle group, as well as other signs and symptoms.

Home Care Return to top

Slow stretching often brings relief. Follow prescribed therapy.

Call your health care provider if Return to top

* There are severe, prolonged or recurring muscle spasms or cramps that aren't relieved by simple stretching
* There are prolonged or persistent muscle twitches that are unexplained, especially if they are accompanied by weakness or muscle wasting

It may just be as simple as being low on magnesium/calcium so you may need to supplement.


Also have you considered FOOD POISANING if it is that bad I would go to the doctor if you are having it all over your body. They have to treat you regardless if you have insurance or not.

I dont want to tell you the wrong thing but if it was happening to me like that I would probably brake down and go to the ER if it was so bad I couldnt function.
