I have been up all night with diarrhea, nausea, leg, feet and hand spasms. right when i'm fixing to fall asleep, my hands start spasming what's wrong?

Spasms and diarrhea: It seems likely that you are fluid depleted and salt depleted and potassium depleted - all from diarrhea and inadequate oral intake of fluid and electrolytes; as able, sip fluid frequently, and replete minerals with a Gatorade like fluid; taking fruit juice and salt will help; if you are not able, and symptoms continue, IV fluid may be valuable.
