Muscle Spasms: I think I've figured it out
3 years ago
General
So not too long after the last update, I got a clue in my right hand suddenly cramping up, especially whenever I clinch things. Even with just two fingers. It was bad I needed to pry my hand apart every time. I decided to just look into that. The most common cause of that is a vitamin D deficiency. Well normally I'm low on D. Until recently I hadn't gone outside often.
It made me curious about it, and so I looked into what the symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency are. From muscle soreness, fatigue, not sleeping well, to muscle spasms. They match my symptoms. Honestly it felt too good to be true, but at the same time, I DO need to get vitamin D real bad. Though now I'm convinced this is cause. All I had to do was go outside, drink orange juice and stack up on Ds.
I've been going out of the house the 2nd most often, but only I'm* suffering from the lack of D. But if what I found is right, then god fucking damn it. I've been fighting constipation which had been coming up excessively for the last 6 or 10 years. For these last two years my use of laxatives grew more frequent. And because of that, it flushed nutrient out of my system and apparently vitamin D to a point that this whole thing started.
After learning of this I didn't go to see a doctor like I had said. Until the delivery came I just sat outside, best I could stand in the sunlight on the cold November days.
We ordered some 2000IU vitamin D3 supplements,which I've been taking daily for the last 2 weeks.
The spasms are mostly gone but not really. Like they're still there, but it's super rare and if they do spasm, then it's like I'm on muscle relaxants that are like 100 times stronger than the cyclobenzapr. Like my muscles are ultra ineffective at spasming right now. :D
I'm not sure how concerning it is yet, but I believe if I fix my vitamin D levels, more than just my latest illness will go away. I gotta go see a doctor to get my levels checked and see how bad it is, then go from there.
Things are looking up for me. :D

recently started getting cramps real easy. Now that i have adjusted my sleep pattern, i wake up in the mornings now, and the sun is strong at my window and i get my sunlight directly
on me, sponging that sunlight. Im feeling less crampy, and getting my sunlight.]
Its a good thing you dont live in a gloomy county with no sun with mostly rain and cloudy.
Glad you are okay, and i have been praying for you so maybe this is a message? Prayers answered? I believe it ;3.
