I’ve had them hit me suddenly, and I’ve had them start out slowly and get worse. Maybe it depends on the *version* you get. I only know if you don’t get to the dr you will only get worse and worse. The first one I thought was just flu or something and tried to wait it out. I couldn’t.
I’ve had a couple a year for several years now. Finally the docs figured out to check my parathyroid hormone levels. Way too high. The parathyroid is what controls how your body uses calcium, and I was even leeching the calcium out of my bones and into my kidneys due to the malfunctioning gland. I had it removed last December, and things have been good since.
