Major Muscle Loss

[CowTown]

Just wondering if anyone has experienced major muscle loss in a short period of time, other then being really sick and lying in bed for long periods of time. I've been much less active over the past year so that could be the culprit, but I'm also wondering whether there are any medication combos that can cause this too. I've never lost this much muscle mass in my life.

Surely if I pick up the slack and start exercising a ton I should be able to gain it all back. In the meantime, has anyone else linked certain meds to major muscle loss?

These are the 4 meds (and or suppliments) I'm wondering about:
zythromycin
ethambutol
avelox
GSH

azithromycin (zithromax) and GSH shouldn't do anything with muscles.

Avelox can affect your tendons, but not muscles.

Ethambutol shouldn't either.

Muscle loss can be affected by lack of exercise, lack of using muscles, and poor absorption or nutrition.

You mentioned that muscle loss is taking place in a short period of time, but how short are you talking here? Are you losing actual muscle or just the muscle tone you once had?

The loss may not be due to a lack of exercise, but rather, low oxygen saturation or perhaps even low levels of iron in the blood. If you are iron deficient, then your body is going to pull that iron out from wherever it can, specifically, the muscle which is high in iron. If you are not oxygenating well, then your body could be trying to pull that oxygen out of your existing muscle. If your body is functioning in an aerobic state, it's working very hard. This is what burns up calories (which is part of the reason we tend to drop weight when we're getting sick and our lung function drops) and causes muscle mass to deteriorate.

The problem is most likely a vitamin deficiency and not a result of the meds you're taking. You may be able to correct the problem by eating frequent meals consisting of 1gram of protein per pound of body weight. Yogurt is a good source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein that we need, not to mention a good way to keep the good bacteria working well in our gut.

I'm going to adhere to the 1gram per pound idea and see how I do. I recently started lifting weights, and would love to build up my muscles. I'll keep track of my results and keep y'all posted, deal?

I can't remember if you're a diabetic or not, but continusly (sp?) high blood sugars can do this too.
As for myself, I noticed that just over a couple week period of being unemployed and staying in bed made my leg muscles flimsy. However, I am older (41), so I wonder if some mine has to do with age.
