I am so sorry that you are enduring a similar struggle. We barely slept for a week before the doctor finally prescribed Valium for the muscle spasms. It worked like a charm. I think we only needed to give three doses of it before the spasms were totally under control. I felt like our doctor was hesitant to prescribe it, but I have a friend who is a nurse and had treated a patient also with muscle spasms in a spica cast and she agreed that Valium was the only thing that helped. I wrote one follow-up blog on that appointment that I’ll link here. Good luck!<br /><br />http://malcolmsmommy.blogspot.com/2015/06/malcolm-and-mean-muscle-spasms.html?m=1Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308630520942883348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115122486634730062.post-23789040853591948942018-01-11T11:13:44.595-08:002018-01-11T11:13:44.595-08:00Hello there!

Clearly there are many hurdles but this muscle spasm one is terrible! We’ve barely gotten any sleep! Do you recall what the prescribed? I told our doctor of the issue but nothing was mentioned as a medication but at this time we all just want some sleep!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304627118377532627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115122486634730062.post-62392291818825185792015-06-15T06:27:11.393-07:002015-06-15T06:27:11.393-07:00It truly is a blessing that you are able to be the...It truly is a blessing that you are able to be there 24/7. I cannot even imagine what it must be like but know that I am praying for you all and will also be bringing dinner too! If you have any specific prayer requests please continue to post because I check FB in the evening and mornings and want to pray ;) hugs!!!

At the same time, I felt such relief whenever you did, when your friends and family were all able to come together and support you! Certainly so much to praise for! And you can count on us to support you all, too, in prayers and in any functional way you need (except sewing because I can't, but maybe we can ask someone on Etsy?).<br />- LindaAutosmilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724047545715265339noreply@blogger.com
