Fall54 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi all, My brother had muscle spasms the other night that he described as if his feet were running while lying down to go to sleep. He said they went from his feet to his legs to his arms. He says he has never experienced any spasm like these were. He is under a lot of stress and I was wondering if that may have anything to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berisa Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 My dad had experienced "Restlessness" during chemo..He cannot fall into sleep and he kept doing something -- restless leg, that keep on doing things and keep himself busy. This symptom persisted several weeks and gradually disappear itself. I guess this is the side effect of chemo. Anyway, please consult your oncologist.

gerbil runner Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Steroids, commonly given with chemo, can really wind a person up. My mother detests the steroids. Sleep problems and short temper can be caused by these meds. Not sure if that's what your brother is experiencing. If not, then I'd call the dr.
