Rich,
Thank you. I've just recently ordered that form and will be trying that next when it arrives. I'm hoping I can tolerate it and plan to build up slowly starting with a small dose. The injections sounds like a pain, so hopefully the pill will work for me.
Ema,
Thanks. I never even knew there was a liquid form. I don't like the epsom baths because the magnesium is so sticky and seems to leave a residue that is hard to get off, plus I've had trouble with baths in general but a foot bath might be good. Great idea. How long do you stay in the bath?
Although in the long term I'd still really like something lower maintenance and less time consuming than even a foot bath. Right now I apply the spray many times throughout the day and it's very high maintenance. It's sticky, I have to wear certain clothes that leaves much of my skin uncovered, and constantly trying to wash the stuff off my hands, it's just a pain. I'd love to find something where I can either take a pill a few times a day or do shots and be done with it. Right now it feels like I spend the whole day applying magnesium. I guess the shots are probably not exactly low maintenance either though.
I don't think I've ever had my magnesium levels tested. I think I'd read that it's not really reflective of the reality in terms of deficiency, but it sounds like your tests showed deficiency and then improvement, so maybe it can't hurt for me to try the test. Are there are vitamin/mineral tests that are worth getting? I've had vitamin D tested and I think B12.
Mij,
Thanks so much, I appreciate the detailed info, I'm going to copy that down exactly. It sounds a bit intimidating but I'm sure it's something one adjust to. I've never given myself a shot, although I gave one to a pet once.
