Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Maureen, Any suggestions for me? I have tried several things with NO help. No regular presciption med works. Foe the past month I have been taking Dr. Lawrence's ideas for spasm. I have had no relef, I have tried the soap in the bed with no success. Right now I am thinking of trying the calcium EAP iv, I have no pain and no problem bending my leg to sit. My doctor and physical therapist feel my problem is spasm. I just want to be able to walk again. Any ideas. I have been on LDN since the end of June. -- [low dose naltrexone] Re: Severe muscle spasms Lobelia inflata extract also works well to stop muscle spasms. Onle a few drops, not a lot.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Lobelia Inflata Extract...from a herbalist? I didn't know this; I'd love to have something other than valium to get me out of trouble. Research coming up. Thank you, .

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Possible symptoms of low magnesium intake Muscle cramps, twitches or tremors Regular or excessive fatigue Feelings of irritability and/or lethargy Frequent mood swings, including depression Pre-menstrual bloating Restless legs at night Magnesium’s pivotal role is in energy production Magnesium is well supplied in unrefined whole grain cereals, such as wholemeal bread, and also in green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, peas, beans and lentils (see table below). Fruit, meat and fish supply poor levels, as do refined foods. Contrary to common belief, milk and dairy products are not particularly rich sources of magnesium Supplements are cheap and non-toxic, so can safely be used. Most forms of supplemental magnesium are well-tolerated but it is inadvisable to supplement more than 400mgs per day. Some forms, such as magnesium oxide, are quite alkaline forming and can have the side effect of neutralising stomach acid and interfering with digestion. These should not be taken with meals. Finally, magnesium is best absorbed in small, frequent doses; so, for example, it is better to take 100mgs three times a day than 300mgs in one go Give it a try!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Magnesium citrate is the most readily absorbable of all forms of mag. Most forms do not get more than 5% into the body.
