question/mystery about magnesium

August 31, 2005

Okay, so...I have wanted to reduce my sleeping pill, so I started

getting extra magnesium in my IV...and going more often (not just once

a week) and also of course my glutathione chaser. And from all I've

read both these impt. substances are very depleted in chronic lyme etc.

So I got 3 cc instead of 2 or 2.5 (magnesium) and I did it 2-3 times.

I also got shots to get at home. I found with this extra magnesium,

and doing a shot in my butt of about 1/2-1 cc that I could fall asleep

on my own, instead of suffering bad withdrawal by just cutting the

sleeping pill down without tapering. Then I'd wake up 5-6 hours later

(like I used to do on my own) and take some sleeping pill, which is

okay, that is not too much for my system.

Well, when I give myself a shot of magnesium--maybe its too much, even

1/2 or 2/3 cc...I begin to get very relaxed and drowsy adn within the

hour go to sleep. HOWEVER when I do that, the next day, I have

significant all over body pain. And " lyme " symptoms are worse. Harder

to turn neck, my whole body hurts, my head sort of hurts but not in a

lyme headache way, my jaws hurt etc.

SO I figure...somehow my cytokines are being activated. Or maybe the

magnesium is activating babesia or lyme but that seems kind of

unlikely. This does not seem to happen when I get it IV but maybe IV

is much weaker since its diluted in a saline drip and going slow over

about 45 minutes, whereas IM is not diluted and you just put it right

in there. I really don't know but I feel really cruddy today and am

totally mystified by this. I can barely do anything as everything

hurts and I feel lousy.

Any thoughts? I know Marnie had this to me wild idea that we'd

generate proper antibodies if we had enough magnesium (in case of

lyme), but anyway...
