What Causes Muscle Cramps All Over The Body With Spasms?

Three years ago I found out I had Anismus. I have not been the same since. Last year I had Grave s disease. They did remove the thyroid. I have been having muscle cramps all over my body fingers, arms, legs, feet, stomach, back ribs, even my upper lip cramped. I get spasm in my eyes, nose feet and legs. Seen two neurologist in the last year and they can t figure it out. I have been checked for heavy metals, MS, lupus, spine, fibermyaloga, arthritis. Can dystonia, which Anismus is a form of spread throughout my body?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
It is highly unlikely for anismus to spread to the whole body.
you have mentioned a lot of diseases being ruled out but have not mentioned anything about the calcium status of the body.
Hypoparathyroidism- is a disease where parathyroid glands(very small) are removed during thyroid surgery, as a result, parathyroid hormone deficiency ensues resulting hypocalcemia(decreased blood calcium levels)
My questions for you are-
1)Whether you have any tingling/numbness in addition to cramps?
2)Any other symptoms like lightheadedness, seizures, facial twitches etc?
3)Has any doctor checked your Blood calcium levels?
Please visit a Doctor who can examine for signs of hypocalcemia, get a blood test done after prescription.
You are always welcome for follow up with me at HCM
Regards
