My son gets terrible shocks in his legs at night (during day too but really bad at night). He says sometimes they are quick but sometimes they are lasting for several minutes. I know he is having a lot of trouble sleeping. He says he just gets to sleep and the pains start over. Any suggestions or tricks to help these? He takes Neurotin 1200mg-1600mg/day. He does take lots of showers per day but he can't hardly stand the heat but he says it gives him something else to feel other than the pain. I wonder if the heat is not the best or should I just let him do what gives him some relief for a few minutes. I think the lack of solid sleep (he's 12 yr old) does effect his concentration even more than usual. Thanks.
