Muscle Spasms/Cramping/Weakness?

by MonGW2008, Aug 02, 2008 03:41PM
i have been having with problems with my muscles stiffening up so bad that it badly effects my daily activites sometimes. if it lessens up it still messes with my abilites as an athlete. This has been going on for a couple years now and has gotten worse each year since i was 16 or 17...i am almost 21 right now and the only thing that gave me some relief for this was blood pressure medications but i hate the side effects. I have had my electrolytes tested numerous times, i have been to two endocrinologists, chiropractors, and a neurologist who even had a biopsy done on my right thigh....and evrything came up normal....This past January (2008) i was having terrible headaches and was depressed (prolly from the stress of eveyrhting and trying to also do college and college football) so my internist decided to put me on Hyzaar for BP cause myn numbers were 183/90. I also had to be on Lexparo cause i had slipped into a terrible dark depression. The Blood Pressure Medicine helped my BP and my muscles trmendously...but i still get the crmaping here and there.....I was swtiched to Norvasc for my BP and my muscles felt perfect yet i felt more depressed on Norvasc so i had to go back to an ACE inhibotr...now my endocrinologist is telling me that it has to do with blood sugar and high insulin, so i have changed my diet accordingly and the cramping seems to be getting a little worse...............my family and my money is going down the drain and i dont know of anyway else to go to get this thing treated?
