Wow Glydin -

I'm so sorry that happened to you! That sounds really really scary! Do you think the low potassium had something to do with the arrhythmia as well? I guess we have to be very very careful with this stuff (which doesn't surprise me as it seems to have powerful effects on people anyway).

Jerry - I am perplexed as well - actually quite frustrated as initially magnesium had such a good effect on everything. I slept without pills - I actually felt relaxed in the morning (normally my anxiety is at it's highest a.m.), I was losing weight (along with low-carb eating), but most importantly my social anxiety really diminished.

I am a drinker and a nicotine addict (gum + I STILL smoke a couple of roll-ups a day - I know nNOT GOOD!)- but never drink more than a couple of glasses of wine a night as any more than this makes my heart thump hard and fast when I go to bed. When I initially started the magnesium this was much less. Also my desire for alcohol was diminished somewhat with the mag.

I was so thrilled that finally I had found something that helped - I felt really stupid though, because logically it is the one thing they really don't put enough of in multi-vitamins and I'd never noticed this - I just thought if they put *some* in, then I'd be ok. Also if I'd done research based on my lifestyle (alcohol, nicotine, high emotional stress due to loneliness in a foreign country, caffeine etc) I could have come up with this solution a long time ago. DUH!!

I think this is why I still refuse to give up on mag, and am trying to find a way to make it work for me. See - this is what confuses me now - that those weeks I was just taking the Mg I DID feel much better mentally and emotionally, but the heart stuff was starting to really bother me. I could ignore it the first couple of days but when it really started tripping along I had to do something.

I really want to get to the bottom of this. Right now I'm taking the dolomite tablets, but if George Eby is right, I'll probably be absorbing the calcium and not the magnesium in these as it is magnesium carbonate. However - intuitively I don't think I have an absorbtion problem - my digestion feels very good since low-carbing.

Any more ideas? I really want this to work for me! I spent so much money on different supplements and don't want to be back at the start again.

Thanks

Loops
