Question:
My next question:
My husband is looking for a group which best suits him for muscle weakness. He showed a couple of specialists but found nothing wrong. Also my husband had run all his tests thoroughly. To name a few tests Hormones, Enzymes, Vitamins, Metal Toxicity, Gut Biome etc. All tests were fine but we are unable to find the reason for muscle weakness.
If he does weight lifting then muscles get weaker and tired (even he exercises with the professional Trainers). What we found so far is that his food doesn’t or is unable to provide the energy to the muscles (specially leg muscles). Can you suggest or think of any group/groups that might be helpful in this scenario?
Answer:
Many health conditions can cause muscle weakness.
Examples include:
Neuromuscular disorders, such as muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)autoimmune diseases, such as Graves’ disease, myasthenia graveis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
Electrolyte imbalances, such as hypokalemia (potassium deficiency), hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency), and hypercalcemia (elevated calcium in your blood)
Other conditions that may cause muscle weakness include:
stroke
herniated disc
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
hypotonia, a lack of muscle tone that’s usually present at birth
peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve damage
neuralgia, or sharp burning or pain following the path of one or more nerves.
polymyositis, or chronic muscle inflammation
prolonged bed rest or immobilization
alcoholism, which can cause alcoholic myopathy
Muscle weakness can also be caused by complications from certain viruses and infections, including covid or immunization side effects.
Botulism, a rare and serious illness caused by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, can also lead to muscle weakness.
Prolonged use of certain drugs may also result in muscle weakness.
These drugs include:
statins and other lipid-lowering agents
antiarrhythmic drugs, such as amiodarone (Pacerone) or procainamide
corticosteroids
colchicine (Colcrys, Mitigare), which is used to treat gout
