My magic mix is a blood pressure meds in same patch as my anti anxiety med which I wouldn't give up without a to the death battle. It could be either of the med, or just spending hours sitting here every day. I do get up and elevate my feet above my heart periodically, and am picking up support hose today, just for sitting here. Right now my skinny little ankles are perfect. I have learned that they will "tell" me when they want a break if I've been ignoring them...they get stiff and hard to flex.
Thanks for your caring support, Lisa. I appreciate you, Honey!!
Hello, I finally got a hold of my doctor today and said take 500mg of magnesium starting today since, my magnesium is on the low side of normal and having the symptoms. I hope there are no side effects with the vitimians. Thank-You for helping me and that I'm glad there are nice people on this site that are willing too help .
Teria,if you get side effects, the most common would be diarrhea...ask doc about taking half. Glad you got some help with this, and glad I could be of help.
Thank you Teria, they are doing well today. I will prop them up after I eat something. As to magnesium dosage, there's no way to tell. If that does happen for a couple of days in a row, stay off for a day, then take half and let your doctor know what you did and why. If you get diarrhea again for two days, go to a quarter tab or stop and get the magnesium oil, to use as needed.
I have to say, and this is only my opinion and preference, that if you are in normal range, I am a little surprised that your doctor didn't recommend a full mineral supplement...but I don't know the state of your calcium and other minerals. Go ahead and start this, and even if it works well, I would request another blood test for magnesium in two months. If you are in the higher range of normal, I would probably stop and use the spray as needed.
Too much can't hurt you in that dosage, just diarrhea if you don't need that much. It will only cause diarrhea if you don't need that much.
Relax, you can handle this. Don't expect and dread the effect of diarrhea....now you know what to do if it shows up. You are still in control and it is only a mineral, darling girl.
If you have more questions, or whatever....here I am.
you can, but it is a little sticky. Because it is rubbed right into the skin, it doesn't matter where you spray it. It absorbs very quickly into the blood stream and relaxes all the muscles. When my feet, back or shoulders tense up, I just rub it into my thigh....three or four sprays rubbed in should do the trick in less than a couple of minutes...if needed, use a couple more sprays, Teria.
No, it will stay a little sticky, that's why i do my upper thigh. There is still a little absorbtion going on. Do wash your hands though. You don't want to get any in your eyes. (I tend to rub my eyes.) Washing he area next time you bathe is just fine, Honey. I am, like all the rest of us hanging in there, Teria. Thank you for inquiring you sweet thing.
