Hand spasms, arm & leg cramps

Hand spasms, arm & leg cramps

I am a 51 year old female.   I have asthma, controlled now, and sleep with a CPAP machine.  For several years I've had severe spasms in my arms and hands.  They come on unexpectedly.  Sometimes I throw pens or forks.  Sometimes I simply can't hold such objects because of recurring spasms.  Sitting on my hands seems the only way to keep them from spasming.  The spasms extend into my forearms.  I also get horrible cramps in my legs at night.  These cramps center in my upper thigh and are acutely painful.  The only relief I get is to stand on the affected leg and try to walk it off.  If I stop walking too soon, as soon as I take my weight off the leg, the cramp returns. Recently, I've begun to experience a burning pain around the ankles at times.  (They sometimes swell). Is all this vascular? I was diagnosed with some rare condition of the vessels of my brain 2 years ago.  Apparently the walls of my vessels are unusually thick.  Perhaps this extends to other vessels in my body?  My spinal column is also only 80% the diameter of the average person's.

There is an amazing product out called cramp911.  It is for muscle spasms and cramps.  I have friends who use this faithfully and swear by it.  It is truly amazing.  I have tried on leg cramp and neck cramps and it really did work fast.  It is very easy to use.  It comes in a roller bottle and it only costs 10.00.  Was well worth it.  My friends say they would pay anything for it because of the relief they get.

Is sclerosis of the heart valves related to other conditions in other organs called sclerosis?  If you have it in one place is it likely to develop in another?
