Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I know that everybody was talking about this DAYS ago (sorry, I'm a bit behind in my mail due to final exams), but the topic of healthcare getting worse and worse and the effects of insurance, etc. reminded me of something my doctor said to me at the last appt I had with her (about a week ago). I was telling her that many days my 7 - grain prescription isn't enough. I end up going to duane reade for a new prescription too soon and have to make up excuses as to " why I lost it - again " . I told her about how annoying it was every time, getting sh*t from them about it. Anyway, she replied to me by saying that everytime I get a refill on my 7 grain prescription somewhere a long the line a red flag is raised and she gets a call from my insurance making sure she knows what she is doing. Can you believe that? I'm sure it is just because they don't want to pay for more than they have to, but these third parties are making my life much more difficult. Why are my posts always so long? I feel bad for taking up so much time on my jibber-jabber, lol. I think I'm still not used to having a normal amount of energy ... all this armour, can't make myself shut up anymore ...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Roni- I never thought of anything like that before either. She talks so fast sometimes (she's very smart and quick to respond to things), so I don't understand the details of all that she said but I got the gist of it. I felt bad about her getting bothered all the time and if she gives me any more armour I don't want her to get in serious trouble so In insisted on just getting more refills for the same 7 grains of armour. Oh by the way, I also told her about this group and she told me to tell you all that if you need help she would do all she could for you. How nice of her, right? Peace, That is a really interesting point. Truly there is no privacy anymore. Everyone and his uncle asks for all kinds of information that can and will be reported whenever and to whomever they please. We are the only ones that are denied information on the basis of the " privacy law " , which actually takes away everyone's privacy. O.K.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 They are also checking because of the high dose....hence their question " does she know what she is doing " , do you take adrenal meds that you can take that high a dose and not have it bother you as far as palps etc.? The doctor I was seeing before I could no longer use him because of, yes, INSURANCE said they would get calls all the time because the pharmacy wanted to make sure he really meant to give the high doses he would prescribe. Covering their butts.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Bev, how are you doing? I only take magnesium on occasion when I'm having a particularly stressful day or something. It helps me with muscle tension, anxiety, etc. How much I take all depends on how stressful of a time I'm having lol. I think it could affect everyone differently perhaps? In regards to when you should take your magnesium I think it has to do with the reason you are taking the magnesium and how it affects you. If you are taking it for stress, obviously the morning is a good time to take it to help you through the day. If that is affecting you badly (as in really tired) perhaps you could take it in smaller increments throughout the day. If you are taking it for other reasons taking it at night wouldn't cause any harm, and actually help you fall asleep which can be nice :-) Also in terms of taking magnesium both in the morning and at night, make sure you don't exceed 750 mg because that can be a fatal dose. I hope this helps! HI , How much and how often do you use magnesium? I'm taking 250 mg. in the morning with the rest of my vitamins and I'm wondering if maybe I should be taking it at night or maybe both times.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Bev, Hope you don't mind me repsonding.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Bev, I can only tolerate 250mg otherwise I begin to have stomach problems. So I just take it all at once and I can't take it everyday either for the same reason. I take it about 3 to 4 times a week.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 , The reasons I am taking it is it's suppose to help with muscle pain and help not constipate me from my calcium. Now I'm finding out it's suppose to help with sleeping too so I sure can use that.. I take Trazodone 250 mg. a night for sleep and depression & all that and I just added 600 mcgs. of Melatonin recently and I can tell a difference with that but I could use some more help with it. So its' for a few reasons. 500 mg a day too much? Bev > Hi Bev, how are you doing? I only take magnesium on occasion when I'm having > a particularly stressful day or something.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Bev, I get diarrhea (SP?) which is one of the symptoms of getting more than you need. That is why I take it only several times a week rather than everyday. It seems to work for me. Venizia > > Venizia, > May I ask what it did to your stomach?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bev- You're taking it to relieve muscle pain? Muscle pain is a big symptom of the Trazodone your taking. Are there any others you could take instead? Perhaps this one isn't worth it, ya know? Anyway, I would suggest taking it at night if it bothers you during the day. I don't think 500 mg is too much but I would check with your doctor. Also, if you are taking mroe and more because of this pain, and have to stay on the Trazodone, maybe you could try a prescription pain killer. Life isn't supposed to be a struggle up-hill. I know it can feel that way sometimes though.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm not familiar with it but if 750 mg can be a fatal dose I would be worried with 500 mg. People vary a lot.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bev, I can't sleep either because of FMS, and I take Ambien 10mgs. It works like a charm.
