I spent a lot of time yesterday doing research online to develop a plan of action toward feeling better. I really don't enjoy feeling depressed and negative and sick like I have been increasingly over the last few months. I am pretty sure that I have a really good magnesium defficiency going.
I remember a few years ago a doctor recommended I take magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is common in women period but expecially likely if you have anything causing you to not absorb food properly like I did for so many years. I took it daily for about 6 months and remember feeling really good around that time too (although I was also not eating cheese then). Took them until I choked on one then I couldn't get myself to swallow them anymore.
Well, I think its' time to go back to taking them. I found out that magnesium supplements can help with anxiety, depression, ulcers, insomnia, tooth grinding, OCD (so I'm figuring it could help w/ the trich), fatique, poor memory, confusion, heart palpitations, chocolate cravings, irritability, and migranes. Somebody even said it helped their dizziness but that wasn't from a medical site so I'm not sure if its true or not. Actually I don't care if the dizziness stays, if all this other stuff gets better then I will be a very very happy person. Heck... if 3 of these things get better I will be a very happy person.
So I took a couple magnesium glycinate tablets yesterday afternoon. I could have been imagining it but throughout the afternoon and evening the tightness in my chest seemed better and i could breathe easier than i am used to. Then around 9 i started to get really bad cramping in my legs... mostly the calfs and the feet. It felt like they were swelling and my socks got really tight. Lasted all the way until the morning, eventually my hands had it too. I was getting pretty nervous there for a while because i had a few chest pains while it was happening but I stuck it out and nothing seemed to come of it. Pretty scary though. I'm not sure if the pills caused this but I didn't eat anything else out of ordinary. I am about to take them again and if I get the weird swelling again I'm going to talk to my doctor.
Hopign the pills help
