Does Low Blood Calcium Cause Body Twitching And Aches And Impaired Sleep?

Hi, diagnosed with osteoporosis and now taking Fosamax for 3 mos.. Twitching and body aches in the night for a month, impaired sleep. Does this mean I have low blood calcium? I am now taking 2000 mg of Cal. and 5000 Vit D each day, and have been for several months. Should I stop the Fosamax? Is this serious? Thanks.
