Side effects of Copper or Magnesium?

[Guest guest]

I'm trying to figure out what is going on with me. I began taking

Copper 2 weeks ago and am now up to 4 mgs a day. I also

discovered I was only taking 600 mg of calcium and 300 mg

magnesium, so I doubled it. I also read some information from

your website and have added 200-400mg magnesium a day

more. I am also taking 10 mg of Tapazole a day, trying to avoid

RAI, and still struggle with a rapid heartrate though not nearly as

high. I'm trying to stay off my heart meds because they make me

so sluggish. I was diagnosed with Grave's in Sept.

Since increasing the copper and magnesium, I have been

bothered by daily diarrhea and worsening hemorrhoids. It's

driving me nuts. Is this a side effect of these minerals?

Over the past month, I have had very dry itchy skin and also feel

very sluggish. I'm thinking I could be low thyroid, but my doctor

doesn't think so. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks, Lois
