Magnesium Deficiency Causes?

[Guest guest]

Victoria,

 

I take an extra 300 mg per day of Magnesium Asporotates for my

fibromyalgia and migraine prevention. I have the insomnia, muscle

spasms and muscles that stay too contracted (tense) and am very

sensitive to pain. I used to sweat a lot before starting acupuncture

and chinese herbs, but I still have much pelvic pain ( interstitial

cystitis, endometriosis, and pelvic floor disorder ), and neck,

shoulder, rib, low back, mid-back, and hip pain.

 

I was wondering if some people who are magnesium deficient might have

an adsorption problem that causes their deficiency? What could be

added, other than Calcium, to help the adsorption of magnesium. Is

there a certain enzyme or something?

 

Thanks,

 

Karen in San Diego

 

P.S. Thank you to the person who referred me to the local TCM school

here in San Diego, the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. They are

fantastic! KP
