With multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms and leg tremors are a condition prerequisite…a not-so delightful appetizer before the main course, spasticity. Some people experience the involuntary movement in their arms. But most (like me) have legs that quiver worse than a chihuahua. Such jumpiness happens at the most inopportune time as well. Like when you’re …
