How are you doing on all this?
I took a sudden and severe nose dive a few weeks past...hence the long gap in posting. I wasn't doing anything differently and thought I was sailing along fairly well...then, bam, like I hit an invisible brick wall. A common experience but one I had hoped wouldn't happen again on my latest regimen. Very frustrating. BUT at least it didn't last TOO long and now I am feeling pretty good again, albeit more stressed from the lack of productivity of those "lost" weeks. :(
I'm not noticing much dose dependency with the TMG now either, but I continue to take it, just a little less than before.
One thing I concluded about my downturn, oddly enough for me since I'm always running on about magnesium, is that I don't think I was taking enough! I was probably only taking about 5-600 mg a day before. When I deligently started taking at least 900 mg, I felt very much better. I'm taking magnesium malate 300 mg 3 times a day between meels and so far mg malate has never caused diarrhea in me like the mg citrate and glycinate do.
I hope you are feeling better and that you found a new job and had at least an "ok" Christmas. :)
