[|Human|] Hi Dr. Grief Yes, Thank you . I have a number of issues going on simultaneously that could be contributing to this odd, relatively new symptom, so probably it is nothing to worry about, but i thought i would just ask... my muscles all over my body will cramp up and get completely stuck and almost deformed looking and feeling! I cant say that there is pain but it does not feel pleasant trying to contort them back in to place. I had a surgery in 2010 that resulted in a DVT and 16 large pulmonary emboli that I know did some damage to my left leg and one toe and does cause me some pain, but that really isnt where this muscle contorting is coming from. Also, I have Lyme disease and suffer tremendously with that... but again I have been dealing with it for almost 3 years so I feel this is a possible cause, but odd that it has started this late, but understandable, as Lyme disease is a hateful PAINFUL experience and horrible with its intensity and constant new and obsolete injustices! So, possibly this weird one as well?! The last thought I have that could be causing the muscle issue, is that i am taking a medicine for my severe migraines. It does cause tingling, so could this be interfering with my muscles all over my body and neck too? I would hate to stop a medicine that has been my first help for migraines since childhood. I would appreciate any feedback or helpful suggestions! Thank you for your time! Tracie
[|AI|]  Dear Tracie thank you for the question. Let me start by saying how sorry I am that you have to suffer like this. To answer your question Yes it is quite possible that these sudden spasms and cramps you are having is due to Chronic Lyme disease or Post Treatment Lyme disease syn Chat Doctor. However, I would be remiss if I did not tell you the following.1) Get an electrolyte panel done: In many cases due to various medications potassium levels may fall leading to such symptoms. U should get this test done asap2)
