Neurologist Questions Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

Why am I getting muscle cramps and spasms all over my body? How can I stop them?

I have CMT, but suffer from severe muscle spasms all over my body daily. Nighttime is worse. I get these in my legs, feet, and hands, but also severe spasms in my stomach. No one seems to know why and I am struggling to live with it any longer. I seem to have them more than I should, if I'm just having CMT alone. I take co-codamol, the only thing that helps, or I do not sleep at all. These cause severe constipation. I need help
