A member asked:
Taking fludrocortisone for a year (pots) and synthroid (thyroxine) for 4 (hashimoto) could any of these medicines could cause muscle pain n twitching side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Possibly more common would be secondary electrolyte changes due to the mechanism of fluid retention involved with the fludrocortisone. Have these been checked recently. Also, with POTS, a mast cell activation syndrome could be considered.
