You might look into your symptoms of Lyme Disease! Lyme has come to the forefront as of late with the news that both Shinia Twain and Justin Beiber both suffer from it! If you go on line and Google Lyme Disease you will see a ton of information! I've suffered from it for at least two years and there has been more information published on it sunce the firat of the year than the previous 2 years.
I have found that some symptoms I had that I didn't know what it was has now been linked to Lyme!
More people should explore Lyme Disease! It is one of the most underdiagnosed illneses out there today.
Very scary the amount of people who have it but don't know it. They contiue to feel Bad but don't know why!
OWK I take some of the same "drugs" as you as far as the Holistic. I do the Epson Salt baths. I still sometimes have RLS! What kind of magnisuim do you take? A certain label?
Thanks So much for the info! Let me know.

I buy "Nature Made" supplements and the magnesium is 250mgs. I think any name brand supplement would we dependable.
I have been tested for Lyme and although I had it a few years ago, I don't have a current infection.
Overall, I feel pretty good for a 75 YO. I'm still very active and if my gym weren't closed for Covid-19, I would be even more active. My physical problems are under control now but I found I needed to be proactive and open minded in determining what works.
I wish good health to everyone reading this. Please stay socially isolated as much as possible. In NYS, masks/face coverings are now required for going into public spaces such as grocery stores and must also be worn outside if in a situation where one cannot remain 6 feet apart from others. I am fortunate to live upstate with room to walk and enjoy the good weather, see my neighbors (from a 6 ft distance) and even share a glass of wine -- everyone brings their own and we sit far apart on our deck.

RE: Mg... i get mine usu. @ Costco too. They are Extra St 400 mg tabs

As to Lyme.. my 1* care poo pooed it.. she THINKS she knows I couldn’t have been exposed to or bitten by a tick.... I knew w guy who got them in his privates while out hunting! Sounds super uncomfortable!!
All my Fibro issues were. Informed by 2 espérate MDs. I didn’t tell my personal MD but was told by my W/C MD for Carpal Tunnel issues that after my surgery on @ thumb( De Quervaines Syndrome) poof... I have the whole enchilada! I had it confirmed by a third b/c I developed excruciating IT pain( Illini tibial Band on the outside of my hip area. Hurt sooo bad to try to sleep!! I found a paperback book at the Rx store called what your MD never told you. Boy was it enlightening! And spot on! Lo also looked into Books on the topic.. there is one pink book ( loaned out) or I’d share the MD author. I just weren’t to the medical section of the book store and bought books to read.... talk about enlightening!! I dint care if the MD takes issue w/ my ?s... I told her right up front I wanted to be a part of my treatment team. I hope she didn’t mind me asking ?s.. I’m trying to soak up info to better understand the disorder & Tx.. even found the Mayo Clinic is considered in my insurance coverage Vs out side my scope of resources! Already went to Rochester w/ a family member. It was sooo unbelievable to see it was a whole day of MD appts starting w/ a 7:40 am blood draw. You stay at poss. The adjoining Marriott and walk underground to the wing where all the MDs offices are.. then across the patio to the Liaison.Then .... Back home. You take all testing and x-rays/ MRIs.. w/ you and get a special Pt rate for the flight... I have yet to find an Expert in Fibro here in ALBUQ., NM ! I now had Osteo Arthritis on top of Fibro & CFS! My joints swell u like watermelons! Urgent Care staff freaked when they did a Doppler scan of my previously Fxd R/ankle! Pardon Sp / typos... long nails! joy.. they never tell you that if it was injured/fx’d.. you get arthritis as an older person! Yeah!! Soc.Sec. & Pain! Just what I wanted!!
