Magnesium for Fibro

One of the supplements that I take and I definitely notice a difference if I miss doses is my Magnesium. I am taking between 800-1200mg/day. I take 800 in the evenings to help relax my muscles and help me sleep :) I have found the UltraMag Magnesium to work very well (and its inexpensive too!)

But I recently read about other recommended forms (on the migraine blog I follow: http://headacheandmigrainenews.com/ )

Here is the info I found:

"I've recommended Ultra-Mag Magnesium complex.  But I've also been asked about other types of magnesium, including a child-friendly supplement.

One type to try is the magnesium you can dissolve in a drink.  Peter Gillham Natural Magnesium Calm Organic Orange can be used as a hot drink.

Flora Floradix Magnesium Liquid Mineral Supplement apparently has a good flavor, though I haven't tried it personally.  One of our blog readers has used it.  Lifetime Liquid Magnesium Blend Orange Vanilla can also be taken alone or in a drink.  Try one of these if you don't like taking tablets."

Here is the LINK


If anyone has tried any of these others let me know, I am curious.

Fibroglycemia?!

When reading through Dr. St. Amand's book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia" I also came across this term:

"FIBROGLYCEMIA" = Fibromyalgia + Hypoglycemia. Basically, that us fibromites are very sensitive and intolerant of carbohydrates.

I can see this, as I have cut waaaaaaaaaay back on my sugar intake, as well as processed carbs (white bread, flour etc.) -- I have tried to follow the low Glycemic Index Diet, and I have noticed I do feel MUCH better the stricter I stick to the diet.

Anyone else experience this, too?
