Have Septo Optic Dysplasia, Hypothyroidism, Asthmatic. On Hydrocortisone, Taking Vitamins. What Is Wrong With My Muscles?

Recently I ve noticed my muscles sticking . This used to happen in my legs only when I stretched - but now it s even in my intercostals when I turn, or even my tongue. I am (septo optic displaysia) hypopit and hypothyroid as well as asthmatic. I m on 10mg hydrocortisone twice a day and 50mg synthroid a day as well as three different inhalers (advair, atrovent, ventolin). I was recently low on D - my doc put me on 50,000units a week for 8 weeks and since then I have been taking vitamins (getting 1300D a day). I am about to start Human Growth Hormone as well. I can t really figure out why my muscles are doing this - it doesn t seem to have any rhyme or reason - though it does seem to be less than what it was. It seems to be all voluntary muscles but I am kind of concerned about involuntary muscles being affected.

Hi
As per my knowledge its due to adverse effect of drugs you are taking most probably steroids.
You may need to get s.calcium vitamin d b12 and calcium and s.electrolytes done.
I think you may need to get the above deficiencies corrected.
You may take high protein diet multi vitamin and minerals tablets which may help you.
Thank you
Hope you get well soon.
