I know it is so dreadful - had it since I was a child - seen neurologists, etc. Kept giving me medications that worked for awhile. I had my magnesium level checked about three years ago and found it was low. I now take about 600 mg. a day and no longer have it. If I get careless and don't take enough mag. I will wake up with it, so it is most necessary. Usually it is something to do with a lack of something in the system, so you should probably take that route when looking for a cure. Good luck.
