Suggest Remedy For Muscle Cramps And Twitching All Over The Body

I started about 6 weeks ago getting muscle cramps in my feet and or legs for about 4 to 5 nights in a row.....I sipped on tonic water to help plus increased my calcium etc.....now I have been getting nerve twitching all over (mostly lower body legs etc.......) I am noticing dents at the base of my one leg above the ankle and now also on the opposite foot along the edge of my foot.......I am 62 year old female scared to death it may be ALS.....my symptoms are just hitting me so quickly over these last few weeks.....had nothing before that.....I also have a feeling of intermittent leg weekness.....I had cramps and pain in the palms of my hands as well

Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion you should not panic and get proper treatment, the symptoms could be due to lack of vit or neurological problem, first thing first, consult a neurologist meanwhile take Vit E capsules 500mg one daily for 7 days, continue Calcium and Vit D3 along with Vit B12
