> The sense that you are "primed" could come from something as simple as being magnesium deficient. 90% or more Americans don't get enough magnesium.I take 750mg magnesium along with my 1500mg of calcium, every day. (I have osteopenia, and won't start bisphosphates until either I have a child or find out it really is impossible for me.) Is that enough?
The past few days, I've also had a weird dizziness going on: it kinda reminds me of the shaky feeling I get when I donate platelets, from the calcium depletion? Could that be related to magnesium deficiency? And, if so, any particular ideas about why, with that level of supplementation, I would still have troubles?
> I betcha there's more than a few outliers here, at Babble.LoL! You got that one right!
My GP actually said something, when I asked for a thyroid panel, about "women wanting to think their thyroid is responsible for their weight." Uh? Buddy? You mispronounce my name consistently, and apparently you've also forgotten that I've gained fifty pounds in the past year due to treatment for Anorexia Nervosa. I *know* what's responsible for my weight, and I *know* that my whole metabolism is truly screwed up beyond belief, due to years of self-starvation. (I'd also asked him about gastric motility -- I'd been having a lot of trouble with eating something and then continuing to feel full to overfull for up to eight hours afterwards. He wasn't impressed.) (Remembering that part, I think I will ask my pdoc for a referral to another GP...)
Thanks for your input, Lar -- always thought provoking and educational. You have given me a lot to think about, and I appreciate what I get from the top of your head...
