Suggest Treatment For Muscle Cramps And Inflammation While On Azopt

default
Posted on Fri, 22 Jan 2016
Question: Hello. I have told Dr's for 30 years I believe I have some sort of 'disease of the muscles'. I have long dealt with muscles pains and spasms, escalated by body inflammation (often diet-related). Recently things escalated terribly, I believe, from starting AZOPT 4 months ago for glaucoma. My body had slowly started cramping at night, requiring me to flex and stretch the whole spine. Suddenly, overnight, this went went severe, frightening entire body cramping at night. Getting up, taking doses of Ca, Mg, and electrolytes seemed to help.... but all kept worsening until I stopped Azopt. Now, a week later, and returning to the old diet also including more fats than I probably should eat, I feel those old night body spasms starting up again. (I have long 'felt' ADP, ATP and MITOCHONDRIA are somehow key nouns. WHAT IS GOING ON? HELP PLEASE!!!! if you can. Thank you. (I still await lab results, but a year ago intracellular results showed me somewhat low in 2 things: Ca and Mg ... though I'd been taking both in pill form for some time.

Brief Answer:
Dont think thise disorders

Detailed Answer:
hi and welcome.
Mithondiopathies, miopathies and other metabolic muscle disorders that you are talking about are genetically determined and symptoms are present right after birth or in early childhood so if this occurred in this age then this is more probable lack of electrolytes,vitamins or neurological disorder such as neuropathy or autoimmune demyelinisation. so you need to see neurologist for further evaluation. wish you good health.Regards
