I have been getting a lot of muscle cramps lately, in different parts of my body, and have no idea why. I get them in my feet a couple times a day, I wake up with those awful calf cramps that kids get, I get them in my hands, my arms, seriously all over the place. I eat plenty of bananas, so it’s not low potassium. One thing that may provide a clue is that I had a hysterectomy/oopherectomy about ten years ago. I have been on the same dose of estrogen the entire time which I found out recently is way too low. I don’t take progesterone. I’m 36 y.o. Also, I have a few other health problems. Fibromyalgia and a gastrointestinal problem that causes severe nausea and vomiting daily. Eating is a huge problem, so (per my doctor) I started smoking pot for appetite and nausea. When I have pot to smoke I can eat just fine and have no nausea, marijuana is a miracle drug, excuse the digression. I know it’s a lot of info, but does anyone have any idea why I am having such bad cramps?
