@cmmichaela A couple weeks ago I was looking at magnesium sprays and lotions. I decided to mix one 100 mg capsule with one tablespoon of hand lotion. I applied it before going to bed and getting up in the morning. I notice a difference on my legs. My feet and hands are ok. It is my legs that feel like bursting. I might keep this up. I asked the doctor if there is a prescription lotion so we shall see. I asked Chrome's AI if the magnesium would dissolve enough to penetrate and go where it should. AI said that possibly it would from some brands that had enough magnesium in them. AI suggest the first one on Walmart's page that I had open, it had a big 7 printed on it. It was a spray. I don't remember the name, but saved it. Also said there was a less expensive one for $6.87 that a DR somebody. I am not promoting...just was Chrome's AI messaged to me. I like your idea of sprinkling too. I will try that as it sounds easy too. The company that is heavy on advertising Magnesium gummies on Facebook has Xylitol and advertising sugarless. Why sugarless on small gummies is selling point seems weird since many of those fake sugars especially those ending in Xylitol cause diarrhea in quite a few people, me included. Many people do not know that artificial sugar is the cause of their IBS-D. Evidently, magnesium is for me too. I took one capsule about 9 pm. one night and at 11 pm, 11:15 and 11:30 made trips quickly. It must have set off my digestive system, but must have absorbed some too, because I slept better that night and no bathroom trips, the first time in at least 15 years. The next night, same thing. Decided I best not take any magnesium late at night. Also affected me taking it at lunch. I really hope to sleep like that again once I get the magnesium situation solved. I hope our shortcuts or the spray or lotion work. Because I believe I am really lacking in magnesium. Good luck with your experiments too.
