I have full body spasms at night that literally leave me breathless. plus white hot stabbing pain that lasts for hours in a different spot each time?

Body Spasm: Make sure your Electrolytes, Kidney and Thyroid function are well balanced, you are well hydrated, Don't sleep or sit for long period on hard surface, make sure you don't overuse your muscles, some medication can cause spasm, other possibility would be Fibromyalgia, talk to your provider S/he would be able to help you. Try 8 ounces of Tonic water with Quinine at night.
