I agree that you need to have labs done to be sure! :)

Was your potassium low with your last labs?  When my Vit D was low I had bad cramps as you describe.   You probably should see your doc again for a full workup ... just to be certain and doe the right thing for it.  If it's thyroid related, perhaps you have an underproductive thyroid, but only bloodwork could determine that.
