Thanks for posting, looselywoven

That link goes to the last page out of 11 with no obvious way to go back through the pages.

Start with this link to the introduction and then go through 10 pages

medical-news.org/10-signs-o...

The pages are:

Hearing loss

Unexplained exhaustion

Eye twitches and muscle cramps

Migraines

Weak bones

A suspicious tumour

Restless legs syndrome

Intense PMS symptoms

High blood pressure

Irregular heartbeat, heart problems

I googled for magnesium deficiency and several sites came up with similar symptoms.

Maybe magnesium should be added to the list of essential nutrients for thyroid health. Symptoms like these are often seen on this site.

I have been taking Magnesium for nearly 2 yrs and saw improvement in many symptoms like,

Heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat

muscle pain.

recently I have researched it more and saw mentioned that thyroid issues deplete mag in the body as do stress, also that mag in our bodies gets quickly depleted full stop. Dr Carolyn Dean's bok The Magnesium Miracle is an eye opener.

Other deficiencies may also cause cramps.

An elderly doctor once advised me to take a little bicarb dissolved in water if I woke in the night with cramp. I've done this for years and find that if I stir about a quarter of a teaspoon or less into water (? about an inch in the glass), then I only need a few sips for the cramp to go and then I can go back to bed and sleep the rest of the night.

Fortunately it only happens occasionally. If it happens regularly it may be worth getting nutrients checked. It may be worth trying some extra magnesium.

Start on this page,

medical-news.org/10-signs-o...

then some way down the page there's a large grey bar which is marked '1 of 11 NEXT PAGE >>', so click on that.

Similar large grey bars on each page will take you through each of the symptoms. Ignore all other arrows.

Also Look into applying magnesium OIL topically on the skin for higher absorption.
