Leg Weakness and Mobility Issues

@gaboslastresort and @sickofpasswordsu2 As for wondering about your medications causing leg weakness. I found out that they can cause problems with your muscles. You might see if you can make an appointment with your pharmacist and have a discussion about the side effects and interactions of the drugs that you are on. Drugs do wonderful things for us but they also cause problems!

Thanks for your response. I have already completed those steps - no help. I found 2 reports that actually matched and explained my symptoms in -
Physiological Reviews Review Article
MUSCLE TOXICITY OF DRUGS: WHEN DRUGS
TURN PHYSIOLOGY INTO PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Another study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3110519/ goes into the CYP transports and how it affects the patient with an impaired system. This particular article breaks down some of the most important CYP’s transports etc. Since my mothers side of the family has issues with drug tolerance (cousins, second cousins) I think it has a possibility of a genetic oopsey.
I am in the process of having my CYP transport system genetically tested for any mutation(s) that impairs this system. Unfortunately the tests only cover some of the CYP's systems - the main ones - but its a start. Finding a Clinical Genetics Doctor in this area is very rare- but hopefully I can have this test soon. I am tired of the pain and paralysis and tired of the Doctors just shrugging or shaking their heads on this issue - as well as one Dr. telling me no one wanted to treat me because of my allergy/intolerance drug list - they were afraid of getting sued.
I hope these reports help - they are not from AI or from undocumented sources - Good luck!
