What Do Muscle Spasms On The Body Indicate?

i am 69 yrs old and have started taking thyroid med levothyroxin this past year. it has been two weeks since i have had it. today my pharmacy told me that because i had missed the first two weeks that i needed to call my dr and let her know because it would mess up my lab numbers that are due to be taken. also i have been having muscle spasms in my entire body, my fingers, arms rib area, thighs, calves,toes, feet. all i have to do is just move the right way and i am drawn up like a pretzel. does my thyroid problem cause that? i didn t know that it would cost me. i don t have the money for the answer. i m sorry for taking your time

Hi,

If you have missed the doses, you cannot do anything for that now, but do not get your tests done. Kindly continue the tablets for another month or so and then get your thyroid profile done and later go for a consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
