Question: I am recovering from a bad bout of gastritis that started in earnest ten days ago. During this time I've had very little sleep, and a lot of weird muscle spasms that began in my legs and makes them jerk when sitting or lying down. The ones in my legs aren't painful, but now they persist painfully around my rib cage and upper arms, and a new (very painful) one that seems to start at the back of my tongue and goes down the left side of my neck. My abdominal muscles cramp painfully from the chest down when I have a bowel movement. I am not experiencing any weakness, just a lot of pain and discomfort.

I go to bed at the same time every night, and have little trouble falling asleep, but I wake after 1-3 hours and can't go back to sleep. During the day I frequently feel very suddenly so tired that I can't keep my eyes open and will sleep for about 20-40 minutes before waking, and then I'm really groggy for another half hour or so, and feel tired in general all the time from the lack of sleep.

I've been taking B12 and D supplements, as well as omeprazole and an OTC acetaminophen/aspirin combination.

So mot to worry, even with the cramping in my throat and tongue? I also feel a strong urge to stretch my back and legs frequently
