Hi Dirk,
* I've had some symptoms which come and go and sometimes come again. 
For several years I had excruciating "toe curling" in my right foot. 
These dissipated and were mostly gone for about a year but lately 
have returned in a vengence but mostly in my left foot.
* I've noticed a connection between arm swing and cramping in the 
muscles of my wrist. Wrist ok, arm swing returns, albeit not a full 
swing.
* Very recently I began to have difficulties getting comfortable in 
bed. In this case I analyzed the mechanics of moving across the bed 
and relearned how to change position. I go to sleep with my feet 
propped against the wall to keep them from cramping. Once I am asleep 
my body seems to return to normal and my feet come  back to bed.
* My dysgraphia (sp.) (handwriting) varies with writing tools. Fat 
pens with soft grips work well.
It is impossible for me to know which drugs or supplements have roles 
to play in these situations. I take Cogenten, and fish oil, 
magnesium, calcium, vit.D, CoQ10 and vit,C. It would take years to 
sort out which substances or combination of such really works.
