as the muscles shrink from spiro what do you feel like? I am having truoble with muscle soreness again. Some twitching and tighting. some of this is from a past ingery but it seems to be getting more frenquent. i think i am trying to do the same thing that I have in the past but it seems that I may be straining to do it. Pulling, pushing, and so forth is harder for me at work. I have figured out the lifting part but the other things not so much.

I do rely a lot more on power tools and leverage now then ever before. After an afternoon of auto repairs, ie: brakes all around, the next day I am sore all over.

As far as twitches go I am more susceptible to cramping. Part of it is dietary. I need my Cal-Mag-Zinc. With a potential for excess potassium from spiro you may also need the same. Dehydration can also cause a lot of my cramps now. My wife used to call me a camel. I used to be able to go forever w/o water. No so these days. I'll be up all night with leg cramps and dancing around all evening with foot cramps from being dehydrated

I bruise easier.  Anyone notice that?

Noticed muscle loss about 2 years ago from other meds that acted as an AA.  It got worse when I was self medicating, and now it's kind of just in limbo until the prescription comes through.  Doing work on the truck is more difficult, and had to use a long handle cheater bar to loosen some bolts.

@JoanneB, You gave me advise about leverage in my last topic on lifting that really help me, thanks. The cramping part, is it like a tightening feeling? The only word I have for it like a charlie horse feeling in my left leg and foot.

@kathy b, Yes, I bruise easier also. In fact I have a big bruise on the inner thigh closer to my knee. I had no idea where it came from. But as big as it was it looked new and old so I was thinking it would have to be from something I was doing repetitively so I watched for what was causing it. I was using my inner thigh for support to pull something. banging it up against something over and over at work. It is starting to go away now. Cheater bar I know all about that.

@Sabine, Most all of what I do is fiscal labor to me my body is to tone it aids in my male appears in my mind but I do get complaments. One new guy after he got to know me told me he thought I was just a fiscally fit woman. He said he was thinking "dam! don't mess that woman she will kick your a**." The body builder guy likes my muscle tone and wishes he had it except the being a woman thing he said. He is encouraging me to keep it up even though I think it looks to male he don't think so. He said it was normal for a female body builder to have the tone and the veins in there arms and not to worry so much about it.


@ everyone falling my posts, Yes, the same guy I have posted about be for. Don't laugh.

cramps in legs are due to calcium deficiency or potassum excess. 
cut out some of the acid fruit and fruit drinks and eat bread and cheese.
