@avmcbellar @jesfactsmon Success!!! A full nights sleep with the magnesium. We’ll see what tonight brings. I have myofascial therapy at 4 pm CST today so I am curious to see how I feel after. My pain level is only at a 6 right now.

@bustrbrwn22 good to hear! I hope to get successful results as you did when it arrives. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it. Glad you tried it. Now you can feel rested. Take care of yourself. Toni

Hi, a word about magnesium. I would not have thought of it as being a sedative but the experience Linda and I have both had the past 3 days seem to indicate that it is. The past two or three days, without realizing it, Linda has taken 3 caps/day (= 480 mg), while intending to be taking only 2 (= 320 mg). She had an extra one in her pill box she thought she had taken out but hadn't. It's been like she has narcolepsy the last two days, she has been sleeping/dozing through most of the day while also sleeping through the night. For me, taking an extra 200 mg at night, 40 min. before turning in, I have slept great! Better than before. No more tossing/turning the first hour. But No daytime issue with sleepiness with me. So far I am very happy with taking added magnesium.

Just FYI, magnesium seems like a good sleep aid so far, but be careful not to take too much. Best, Hank
