I appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thank you so much for taking the time. I'm still on the hunt, but it is nice to know people are thinking and helping. This board is all about support, and I sure feel a lot of it when I need it. Thank you.
Potassium, magnesium, etc...my doc was very thorough in testing and said my levels were all "excellent". Not just good, but excellent. I have also tried these supplements. Strange, but magnesium in particular actually made my leg pains/tightness even worse, not to mention the dastardly elevation of doom and gloom depression from the magnesium. Very bad supplement for me. Potassium doesn't seem to do anything one way or other.
I was surprised my flare-up of previously healed wrist tendonitis was remembered here, when it was aggravated by Milnacipran and its supposed norepinephrine constricting. I am impressed. A few of you don't miss any details. I was quite surprised. This train of thought still makes sense for the legs, except I wonder why Cymbalta was good for calves. It has enough NE that it should have had a hint of badness, but it didn't. Suicide ward stuff it is, but my calves liked it.
Circulatory problems. Well, that makes sense. Again though, why just calves. I would like to hear more on this topic, and how different meds would affect the condition. And more importantly, how to treat it or reverse it.
I am still suspect and puzzled though, simply because these calf problems are so absent at baseline, yet come out of the blue so severely so rapidly when provoked by a certain substance.
At another forum someone mentioned ammonia as being a common problem with some diseases such as Lyme, and that it can do exactly what I experience, and that certain meds provoke excess ammonia, with Parnate being one of them. This is over my head and probably pioneering science.
