| My son has had a chequered medical history which started from birth in that he inherited my low calcium condition, Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia, in a mutated form. In his early twenties, he slipped over in the bath and, after an MRI scan, the doctors found that his lower back had been broken in numerous places. Their comments were that he had a spine of an 80 year old. He had to have metal rods in his back spending many weeks in hospital recovering and learning to walk again. In his teens, he had severe Glandular Fever which had a bad effect with his low calcium. He was delirious for most of the time but the now unstable calcium condition caused all his muscles to contract at once the pain of which was only bearable with maximum doses of morphine. If you have jumped out of bed with cramp in your leg, try to imagine how you would feel with muscles from from your neck to your toes doing the same thing all at once. Has anyone else experienced this in other forms?
