All started about 5 days ago with all the mentioned problems all over my body. I've had bad cramps on both my legs and i can barely walk proper, both legs are weak and i walk like an old man.
Exactly 2 weeks ago on a Friday I consumed a lot of alcohol and I got alcohol poisoned, after from Sat to Tue I had problem with my digestive system and I had was diarrhea all day long with only 1 day going to the bathroom 15 times.
After I got well from Wed to Sun (5days) I went out every night drinking and from Monday I started to get cramps/twitching/spasms. It's been 4 days now and nothing seems to go away.
What I think is that during the 1st week that I got the diarrhea my body minerals ran out and the body system was on recovery but again I played around and it became worse now. So what I'd say the body is low on minerals which I'm having Vitamins, Potassium, and Calcium ever since but things haven’t got any better. Both legs are weak and it's even hard to climb up any stairs.

Welcome to the world of alcoholics!
Alcohol breaks down into toxins and your body cannot deal with that right now and you are drinking anyways.
With that being said:
Take a daily multi-vitamin.
Take a daily B-12 vitamin.
Drink nothing but water for at least a week (that means no alcohol, coffee, cokes, etc.) except you should drink at least one quart of Gatorade daily to help restore electrolytes that your alcohol and sickness has depleted from your body.
I know you probably have or should have been told your drinking is killing you. Get some help! Your organs are starting to rebel and if you do not listen to them your organs will shut down on you.
It would not hurt to go to the ER to get checked out because you might already be in organ failure.
GOOD LUCK!

Go see your doctor....may be serious and I get those as well. Make sure not a blood clot....in meantime, use the calcium, zinc and magnesium supplement...can find at local Walmart for about $3. A co-worker has the same problem, she uses it, reduced the problem. Best wishes for good health!

Muscle cramping is usually caused by a build up of lactic acid, and lack of oxygenated blood. Being that your a very heavy drinker, I would suggest lots of toast(dry if you can), and drink lots of orange juice.(NO ALCOHOL)
