Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The muscle weakness and the cramps that you are having could be due to the electrolyte imbalance or vitamin B complex deficiency caused by the chronic infection that you are having. Taking proper supplements will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
