Muscle Spasms
Does anyone diagonased with lupus suffer from crazy muscle spasms and twitching.
Oh yeah. It looks like lupus, well, maybe not, well, it's something autoimmune..... yes, it happens all the time.
Have they checked you vit D level?
Some things that you might want to give a whirl is magnesium along w/ calcium. I was having some vertigo along w/ some headaches. I took some distilled salt water and irrigated my sinuses w/ a nette pot. That has helped quite a bit.
I have a lot of muscle spasm, twitching, cramping symptoms too. Sometimes charlie hoarses. Very painful. I think it's perhaps calcium deficiency. Do you drink soda pops? They can pull calcium from your bones...too much phosphorus in cokes.
What lab lead the first dr to decide it's lupus?

Hi there everyone. - New here
I've been almost a year with no exact diagnosis. Started with a complaint of Carpal Tunnel. After having blood work, the doc said I had lupus. Sent me to a Rheumy who said it was not lupus. He tested me for everything under the sun but ended up referring me to another doctor. That doctor said it was probably rheumatoid arthritis even though rh factor was negative 2x. She also found a pinched nerve in my neck.
Stopped going to the doc. Felt I was wasting my time. Pain is still strong in my hands with swelling, joint pain, warmth, aching, sharp and sometime pins and needles. Pain is also in my neck, feet, knees and back. In the last few months, I've been getting random muscle spasms(mostly at night) and a lot more pain in my feet and lower legs. Almost feels like muscle cramping in my calf. But also, for the last 6 weeks, I have had vertigo steady. Worse at night when rolling in bed but have had to leave work(unable to drive) and have almost fell down at home. Feel at a loss..... But back to the doctor I will go..
Anyone else ever been told it was Lupus, It's not Lupus?

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are having a terrible time w/ spasms. Have you been diagnosed w/ lupus? What medicines are you taking?
Well all dis is new to me I had been sick since June 2011, and since oct I started getting muscle spasms real real bad to the point that I thought I was having a heart attack, they will start on my legs and they will make my foot get so tight that I was unable to move it and I would get a burning sensation on my other foot that went all the way to the middle of my chest and to the point that would take my breath away and once I get one of those bad ones Im left with no straight, can anyone help me. Oh I'm taken lots of meds as well.
There is a 2-10% chance of remission. Also, the onset of menopause is associated with milder disease.
