Crista,

Your post about magnesium was perfect timing for me! Excellent. I have this book that I have been meaning to look at for a while dealing with emotions and health. So I looked up magnesium and sure enough it said it is known for its calming effects and some doctors recommend it for anxiety, insomnia and depression. It also went on to talk about calcium shortage too. The calcium shortage also had something to do with cramping in the calves. (I saw a previous post about leg cramping.)

I wonder if they check my blood for all these vitamins and minerals when they do my blood work for all the thyroid stuff.

Before I take anything I will check with the doctor first. I even have a bottle of vitamins that I was going to start taking but chickened out because I did not want anything to interfere with this other junk that was going on at the time.

My eyes are swollen too, left way worse than right, to the point where they hurt. Today our new puppy jumped up and hit my glasses and I thought I was going to die. That pain shooting through that one spot in my eye. OUCH!

Well a Big THANK YOU for getting me interested in reading my book.

Don’t know if this may help anyone, but I have found taking 300mg
of Magnesium every day (together with a standard multi-vit containing B6)
has reduced my nervousness and irritability. I have found no references
to adverse effects of this amount of supplement.

I should say that I have not been diagnosed as having GD. My eyes are
swollen lots and my metabolism is way up (I eat all day and still lose
weight). But I do go from symptoms of hyper to symptoms of hypo (less
often).

I have read various papers on Magnesium supplement and it is clear that
magnesium is required daily (from diet preferably) and that it is
essential when under stress, as stress eats it up wholesale. Dietary
sources are all unrefined foods and so it is little surprise that many of
us don’t get enough.
