Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Taking ldn has significantly reduced the number and severity of my muscle spasms. But this took several months to be noticeable. I've now been onldn for well over five years and I only have the very occasional spasm.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi folks-- In the last 4 months or so I've developed a new symptom-- excruciating muscle spasms, primarily in my legs and feet, but also in my hands, sometimes my back, and most frighteningly in my bronchial tube/throat. While I have many symptoms that you'd think would improve with magnesium, magnesium makes it much, much worse. I've tried many forms of it. I just started taking taurine which has a lot to do with magnesium metabolism, but wanted to know if other people have had these symptoms. They come with burning, tingling, pins and needles and sharp, shooting pains, mostly in feet and legs, some in my face and hands. I was in a wheelchair for two years following a stroke and incredibly hard work and the Cuban medical system got me out of it. Now I'm back in because of the cramping/nerve pain. (I had some of this type pain on my stroke side, but it's now all over my body.) My Lyme doc wants to fortify my elimination systems before attacking pathogens, so what I'm looking for is relief of the symptoms as we move toward working on root causes. I already take B12. Will probably try increasing B6 as well. Thanks, Aurora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 When the Lyme bacteria go into cystic form, the cyst wall is composed of your calcium. In my case, my blood calcium levels got so low I fractured 2 bones in my feet. I was also having muscle twitches, so it made sense to mo to get a blood work up. Now I take high quality calcium/vit D3/magnesium supplements. Within a week, the twitching stopped...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Good news! I'm sure you're aware that soaking in epsom salts is also taking magnesium citrate transdermally. This is confirmation that magnesium ends spasms. K.C. > > > I had leg muscle spasms when I woke up in the morning and was really concerned because for several minutes I had a problem walkingand it was quite painful. My friend said I should try soaking my feet in Epsom salt 2x a day for 20 min. and that should work. YES it does ! For 4 days now I haven't had a spasm. Awesome and its pennys to buy at the grocery store. Try it and see for yourself. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've heard that magnesium oil is a good way to get it transdermally - I made some by buying nigari flakes (used for making tofu) - cheap and supposedly the best kind (food grade). [low dose naltrexone] Re: muscle spasms Good news! I'm sure you're aware that soaking in epsom salts is also taking magnesium citrate transdermally. This is confirmation that magnesium ends spasms.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 There is a co. at www.pureessencelabs.com that sells a product called Ionic-Fizz Magnesium Plus. It's a powder (magnesium) that you drink (mixed with water) and it relieves my muscle cramps in a matter of minutes. I have used it for about 2 yrs. Take care, Bill H.
