Vitamin D3 and Himalayan Salt

Hi, I have a rare disease Adrenomyeloneuropathy and I suffer muscle spasms in my arms and legs and I have found that Vitamin D3 stops them! however vitamin d uses magnesium to be converted to it's active form in the bloodstream and after taking it for 2 months it has caused Magnesium dificiency! so I have started using Pink Himalayan Salt because supplements are not absorbed very well and when soaking in a bath your body will absorb what it needs, I use about a kilo in a bath for 30mins and it has relieved my neuropathic pain.

All the best

In your profile you say you have Addison's disease. Do you have RLS? or just muscle spasms? Vit D3 is being studied for use in pain in the US. have looked at all of your posts, so am kind of wondering.

Not what you're looking for?
