Ive been using magensium oil which does help.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I'M GOING TO GET SOME WHEN I GO GET MY VITAMIN D REFILLED.

Very helpful--maybe that's what I need because I do have a few of these symptoms (I really don't take any vitamins and I should)...I know my diet is deficient lately because I've been trying to eliminate foods to figure out why I feel a little dizzy/unbalanced sometimes. Will try to eat more of these foods and take a supplement.
thanks again!

This is a very true statement about the magnesium. I bought some tablets and also a liquid form to have in cereal, unfortunately it had a negative effect in so much as that they resulted in severe Diarrhea. May just be me though!

If you take too much it can cause you to go to the bathroom. You have to start out with a lower does and slowly increase it until your bowls are soft. I take magnesium oil, which is a tropical so it bypasses your stomach and you dont have that side effect.

You are not supposed to EAT magnesium oil--it is supposed to be rubbed on your skin. I doubt that much of it gets into your body by rubbing it on your skin. In order to get any through the skin you would have to bathe yourself in the stuff for hours... sounds like another natural cure scam to me. If you want to take magnesium, use the tablets or eat more leafy green vegetables. If you get diarrhea, it means you are taking too much, or too often.

I take a daily multi vitamin and mineral tablet in case I am missing out on anything

BTW an excessively low salt or no salt diet can cause severe problems

Yes, you rub magnesium oil onto your skin, you do not eat it. If you talk to a natural docter you will find out that it works just as well as taking magnesium suppliments. It absorbs into your skin (just like patches that deliver medicine or nicotine through your skin). To get the full benifits you leave it on your skin for 30 minutes. You can also add a table spoon to a foot bath. I cannot take magnesium suppliments because it upsets my stomach (no mater how small of the amount I take). A natural docter suggest the magnesium oil. My husband use to get restless legs and bad charlie horses at night, he has not had one since using the magnesium oil. If you have any doubts about magnesium oil, talk to a natural docter about it.

Yes, and while you are at it, type "magnesium scam" into google and read before you go wasting your money.

The best thing to do is do your own research and decide for yourself. I first heard about magnesium oil from Dr. Richard Becker who has a show called Your Health. I then went and talked to a natural docter where I live who also recommended it. I respect shrinking's opinon, and I think people should do reasearch to see if things are scams or not.

Pardon my ignorance, but a few of these posts mentioned 'scams'. I'm just wondering why. I haven't done any look up's but am confused. Why would my doc tell me that magnesium is something I need if it's not? I know I have an adverse reaction to it but maybe it's something my body needs to get used to. I don't know any of the answers to this post but I'm hoping you can help.

nobody was talking about magnesium being a scam. I brought up that I use magnesium oil (a tropical that you rub on your skin) and shrinking mentioned she believes magnesium oil is a scam. We have different opinions about it which is ok. I respect her opinion, but since Ive heard different homopathic docters who I trust recommend it, I use it. Magnesium is a good suppliment to take, we just have different opinions about the oil. Thats why its good to talk to your own docter and do your own research.

For about a year straight I took 600mgs a night of magnesium citrate - you drink it like a tea. It was probably the only supplement that helped me calm down. it is also very important for your body because of the interaction between calcium and magnesium in the body. If you are trying to take excess amounts of calcium but do not have enough magnesium, the extra calcium is useless. In addition magnesium deficiency - it has been associated with panic, depression and etc. Taking magnesium isn\'t going to make all of the panic go away but it can help calm you down. its also a laxative so it needs to be weaned over a few weeks into your system so that your digestive system can build up a bit of a tolerance. For some people fish oil is really really helpful for depression as well.

i am amazed by this. Im going to get them an see if my body is just lacking magnesium. Some daays i really feel like giving up, and when im having an attack i find myself giving in and thinking im going to die then couple hrs i wake up realising i had only given in and fallen asleep.

I really dont take the meds the doc priscribe as it only makes me too weak to fight and when i cant fight the attack i get more frighten thinking my body is giving in to the death. Im really a happy person when im not having an attack but dont know how longthis happiness will last.
