Twitching + Vitamin D - anyone else follow these progression of symptoms?
Hi all,
First of all - current bloodwork is all clean, waiting on first neurology appointment now.
About 3 months ago I had a general workup and the doctor found me to be severely deficient in Vitamin D (but normal magnesium). I was given some loading doses to bring me up to a regular range. I had noticed occasionally getting some leg cramps and fatigue before this.
3 weeks after finishing my vitamin D loading doses (which lasted for 4 weeks) - i started noticing constant fasciculations in my left calf, and some in my right calf. It has now been 7 weeks of the twitching migrating off and on to other parts of my body: arms, flanks/torso, thighs/hamstrings, face and eyelids. Only the calf muscles are constant. Some days i feel them constantly, others its minor enough. Currently my eyelid twitching is becoming more and more common, off and on throughout the day.
I've also experience some restlessness in arms and that buzzing sensation you get from that - and restless leg jerks trying to fall asleep. Again off and on.
No muscle weakness or any noticeable changes in dexterity or balance as of yet.
Doctor has not mentioned BFS or anything like that - since bloodwork is clean, its off to the specialists. My family has history of MS so they're being diligent and sending me to a neuro referral and they'll dig into this a bit more.
Just wondering if anyone here has progression related to this. Also still waiting on bloodwork to see if I got overdosed on vitamin D - but doc says its pretty unlikely given that i was so low to begin with and with everything else on current bloodwork being normal, its not like the dosing zapped my magnesium levels or anything either.
