Muscle Spasms!!
| Fri, 09-03-2004 - 10:37pm |
I was looking for info on muscle spasms related to Levothroid for Dee and our new poster but didn't find any connection. What I did find, though, leads me to think that you need to speak to your doctors about these spasms to make sure they don't have a neurological cause.
That said, here's an interesting link that says the cause of these spasms - once anything serious has been ruled out - can be a calcium or other supplemental deficiency! Very interesting. Here's the link: http://www.acu-cell.com/dis-mus.html

Thanks Cathy.... I can't seem to find any who believes I acutally have spasms. I wish someone would wake me up from this wacko dream I'm having. I want to get back to reality. Does all this thyroid related stuff feel like a dream to anyone else???
I'm still looking up info on this because it's kind of fascinating. And not anything I've ever seen on any list for hypothyroidism. If I get a chance, I have my endo follow up appoinment this Wednesday, I'll ask him if he knows anything about it. Cathy :)
Cathy, thank you! It's just so great that I can come to this board and have a few moments where it feels like people understand and care! These are the moments when I don't feel trapped in a horrible dream! I am really struggling to face the rest of my life right now and I truly feel like no one understands (outside of you guys).
I'm going to read up on the supplement article you posted. Last night as I lay twitching and aching, I wondered about deficiencies... I read a post once from someone having trouble with memory and I thought she mentioned muscle spasms (I could be wrong; my memory is horrible) and it turned out she had that rare-er form of anemia where it's a vitamin B-12 deficiency...
Anyway, I see 2 endos this week (LOL)... I'll mention it to them both. By the way, did I ever mention that I printed off my posts and your replies to take with me to my endo appts to help me remember and stay focused? It was really great, thanks to the board, I have a written history of what I've been going through. Very helpful.
Thanks again for your help, it really means a lot,
Dee.
I had a "moment" and decided that I need to really find someone who can help. It's interfering with my family/marriage/self.
