I've been on HU for 3 years. The first year was the worst, hair loss, bone pain, diarrhea, multiple BM daily. After a year my gut got used to HU, my hair is back to normal, still have some bone pain.....and of course fatigue, which I just soldier thru. for leg cramps I make sure I eat fruit & veggies high in potassium???? works for me......This year my skin is very flakey, don't know what's causing it.....

Chelated Magnesium Complex (capsules) works for my restless leg problem and it even helps me relax to sleep. I've tried ALL kinds of magnesium pills that did nothing! Believe me, it has to be chelated to be absorbed, and the complex of m.glycinate, m.malate, m.citrate and m.taurate does a lot of good in many areas of muscular tension and neurologic disorders. I get my Magnesium Complex capsules on Amazon if that helps. Good luck.
