I know that feeling, the Charlie Horses are the worst. Lately its really been bothering me. I wonder what kind of neurological problem is at the heart of this disease. I was getting night sweats for awhile to before the spasms, my nightmares were so scary I was having panic attacks in my sleep. It seems like when I would go on an 8 mile bike ride the symptoms would get better and I would feel this sense of euphoria that some people call a "runners high" from the endorphins. My legs would ache, I would stretch them out before and after then sleep like a baby on those nights.

I won't take SSRI's because the side effects. For me anyways, were a lot worse than the depression. They made me suicidal, killed my libido, made my anxiety get worse, I couldn't sit still, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. I ended up throwing the pills away in the trash and terminating treatment from both my psychologist and psychiatrist. Then I had to suffer through intense withdrawals that were worse than the side effects and depression I had before then put together. Then my life turned into the mess it is today.
