I Have MS And Also Had A Small Stroke Which
Question: I have MS and also had a small stroke which affected my already-weakened left side. My biggest problem is disruptive sleep patterns due to clonus in my left leg and foot which keeps me awake in the middle of the night. I have tried gabapentin, which works, but net day feel like a zombie and more unbalanced, also loss of appetite. Cloazepam, same thing. Have tried trazadone - don’t like side effects next day. Drink sleepy time tea with cal/magnesium at night at bed-time, but if I take too much magnesium, have diarrhea. Do you know of any natural product or food that alleviates clonus. Don’t do good o these heavy drugs.
Brief Answer:
Natural supplements aren't available
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query in detail
Unfortunately there are no natural foods or supplements that can alleviate clonus.
You can consider few nerve blocking or local muscle relaxants which can treat clonus effectively.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you
