zinc & magnesium

[Guest guest]

Yes and no. One of the problems I had before I was diagnosed was my shins

ached. I mean they really ached. Got so bad at times I did not want to walk on

them and I would cry and I am no crybaby. Like shin splints to the 100th

power. No one seemed to have a clue as to why. Actually most of the doctors

didn't care. That was back when they still wanted to give the " pat the 40

something lady on the back and hand her some pain killers and/or antidepressants

treatment " which translates to " da B***h is crazy " diagnosis. Pain killers

will kill the pain - temporarily. They of course also mess up your liver.

For a long time I thought it was potassium deficiency because I knew I already

had that problem and it feels about the same in your legs. But when checked it

wouldn't be the potassium. I had also had shin splints before and didn't know

if that had come back to haunt me or what.

Finally I went to the Louisville doctors. First thing I said was my legs hurt.

He said that's easy. Zinc and Magnesium. Buy it over the counter. Lots of

liver patients are deficient. That must have been it because I got almost

instant relief to one of the problems that bothered me the most at that time.

Try it - you'll like it !

Hepatologist,zinc supplements

Has any one ever heard about zinc deficiency with liver disease? I saw my

hepatologist today, and he suggested that low zinc can cause fatigue, and I told

him I was going to ask this group if any one has been helped by taking

supplemental zinc, he said that would be a good idea.
