Fatigue
Some steroids are used to treat chronic fatigue, chronic muscle pain, and inflammatory joint pain. Additionally, some steroids are used in the treatment of asthma. [glutenfreesociety.org]
Fatigue: Bone and muscle aches generally causes weakness in calcium deficient people. But low calcium levels are also linked to insomnia, fear and mental derangements that increase stress and fatigue. [thehealthsite.com]

Osteoporosis
The concept that human osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women, results from negative calcium balance represents a working hypothesis that fits many, but not all of the available data. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Calcium and Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a progressive disease in which the bones gradually become weaker and weaker. The term osteoporosis, derived from Latin, literally means "porous bones." [home-remedies-haven.com]

Muscle Twitch
More severe deficiency can cause tetany, characterized by involuntary muscle twitching, cramps and spasms. Tetany can occur spontaneously. [livestrong.com]
Uncontrollable muscle twitches as well as numbness and tingling sensations in the hands and legs can occur for the same reason. Moreover, a low calcium level may impair the nervous system, which in turn affects the functionality of nerves. [top10homeremedies.com]
Uncontrollable muscle twitches along with tingling and numbness sensations in your hands and legs may occur for the same cause. Furthermore, a low calcium level can impair your nervous system, which will affect to the functionality of nerves. [vkool.com]
Those who are hypocalcemic experience sensations of tingling, numbness and muscle twitches. One test for low calcium involves tapping the jaw and looking for muscle spasms, a reaction known as Chvostek’s Sign. [doctoroz.com]

Prevention
Less well known is the calcium outflow from bone that occurs to prevent decrease of blood calcium in calcium deficiency caused by the parathyroid hormone, with consequent calcium overflow into soft tissues and the intracellular compartment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
