It doesn't sound like this is your problem, but I'll mention it anyway in case someone else is reading. For some reason, as I got older my absorption of minerals, in particular, went down. I have to take rather large doses of magnesium and potassium in order to have my blood levels at normal. If I back off on either one, I get weird muscle function that shows up first in small muscle control. I start to practice, and right away my eyelids start twitching and contorting; my embouchure doesn't have the control I need either. As long as I keep up with my mineral supplements (prescribed by MD but purchased over the counter) I do fine.
