Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Dale, I have the stretching stiffness to but no yawning. What happens to me is my left leg shakes back and forth even when I sneeze. This is a form of clonus I believe an alternating contraction and relaxation's. Stretching is the same thing but it is stronger...............just my medical opinion.......flora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I can't even get out of bed, it hits when I'm waking up. If it doesn't as soon as I try to get out of bed it will do it and lock me in whatever position I'm in! dale Re: Morning yawning/stretching-To Dale > Hi Dale! > > Yes, I've had the problem with stretching out in bed in the > morning.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Guys is the cramp in the arch or the calf .I used to get the cramp in the arch then learned if i stretch not pointing the toe the arch wouldnt get a cramp as for the stretching in morning after waking i just lay there and stretch and yawn for about a minute then stretch again while standing next to the bed making sure the muscles get loosened up i think thats what their doing ? GEO Re: Morning yawning/stretching-To Dale Hi Dale! Yes, I've had the problem with stretching out in bed in the morning. My legs tend to lock up and I can feel a cramp trying to form. It's frustrating alright! At that point I get out of bed because standing up and putting weight on my legs is the only thing that stops the cramps from forming. As for the yawning, I haven't had that problem. Maureen > Just wondering if this is happening to others. We talk about how cold > " freezes " us up but what about these two.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 But Geo, it's like I said, it's totally involuntary, hits very quickly, and hits the whole body, legs, feet, toes, arms, hands, body, mouth... The mouth is held open so hard that I have to watch when it's done, I have had my mouth slam shut so hard I was worried I would chip a tooth, luckily I have to ware a teeth guard... dale Re: Morning yawning/stretching-To Dale > > > Hi Dale! > > Yes, I've had the problem with stretching out in bed in the > morning.
