@suecreader Good morning No one really knows how much Potassium we need as we are all different in body weight ,but if you get a full panel of blood work in your minerals that should tell you if your low in a vit-min.Our bodies building blocks our minerals mostly ,calcium, magnesium , potassium those you can't get a quality amount in food even though the different food gives us all vit-min,some people need extra so supplement with a good Vit-Min.For Potassium they tell you to eat bananas Yes your body will let you know For me I take a Magnesium,Calcium,Vit D3,Vit K Potassium at night to prevent RLS .

@lioness-thanks for clarification. It’s obvious you know your body well, & you have an excellent command of the medical field so I appreciate your input. I do have a full panel workup annually & sometimes a couple of times per year. Right now I take extra magnesium tablets at night, & I think that helps a bit too, But I don’t think it’s a complete answer. I think it’s an individual thing as you’ve noted too, but trying to put all that together and apply it to my individual body is sometimes something of a mystery. Trial and error seems to be the only way to find out what works and what doesn’t. I do know that despite the doctor continuing to check my iron (specifically ferritin levels) even when it’s been at its highest level, my symptoms are still just as prevalent as when it’s low.
