What Do Muscle Spasms In The Calves, Feet And Hips Indicate?

I have been experiencing severe muscle spasms for several months. tops & bottoms of feet, calves, hips & even in my back on both sides of my spine throughout the thoracic region. I drink plenty of clean water , I take supplements including Calcium citrate, magnesium, vit. D, C, B complex, Fish Oil caps, women s multi, Ginko & Turmeric Curcumin. I eat very healthy; fresh fruit & veggies, sprouted grains, fish, chicken, eggs, limited dairy, no processed foods, preservatives, sugar,etc. I am on 50 mcg Levothyroxin, Methylphenidate 10 mg/2xd, & now taking Diazepam 5 mg at bedtime to help me fall asleep & as a muscle relaxer. My PCP doesn t know why it s happening & I m having terrible insomnia & being awaken every couple of hours by these spasms but I also get them randomly during the day. I have Fibromyalgia, DDD, some arthritis in my spine & some bulging discs n my Cirvical & Lumbar vertebrae. I don t know what else to do!
