Miserable..I don't know how to get through this.

I hate to be a constant complainer..I really do..but I am miserable. I don't even have the energy to write all that I am going through right now. I am on 2nd week of doxy, terrible GERT..LLMD said take an over the counter product that will help. I can't drink lemon water anymore because it contributes to the acid reflux. I am hurting all over, not sleeping even with the benedryl which usually helps.

My RLS is INSANE!!!!!!!!!! It's driving me crazy!!!!!! AHHHHH! I can not get comfortable. I am on the verge of having a nervous break down. I have to work a full time job and I am not in a good place especially today after tossing and turning 2 nights in a row with my legs that are kicking and screaming.



I got burbur detox drops, don't know if they help. I did cut out one of my Norco per day (I generally take 2 to cope and be able to work and take the edge off) but I wonder if that would be what's making my legs crazy?? I dunno, but I'll be taking the 2 today.

GOD I just can't handle this. It's horrific. Torture........all day and now ALL night. I'm miserable....How do I cope?

I'm sorry, I really am. I just can't deal with this and I'm starting to get scared and very frustrated.

We all are suffering I know, but if anyone can help with ways to ease the discomfort I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you. The footbath may be an easier way for me to do the detox baths, because I can't lay down for at least 2-3 hours after taking the doxy and I am so dang tired it's not even funny.

WW--LLMD prescribed me some anxiety meds, just haven't picked them up because I am too tired and honestly I'm afraid to add yet another pill to my already eventful pill taking day. I have never popped so many pills in my life, especially all at once! I also don't think it's just the anxiety that's driving me nuts..it's the legs, the stomach pains, the pain, the fatigue, etc. The anxiety certainly isn't helping though. But my legs eased up a little when I cut out sugar, then it came back with a vengence! I took a Norco and feel a little better. If I have to take more, I guess I will!

I also tried the Green vibrance powder in some water (BLECH!!!) and it gave me a little extra energy I think!


I'll ease up on the lemon water too. I'm disappointed because it really got me to drink more during the day.

Right now I'm sipping on some tea recommended by someone called 'Horny Goat Weed Tea' by triple leaf tea company.

I appreciate the prayers! Thank you for thinking of me and responding.

mercury--Hi. I'm taking magnesium citrate 200 mg per day..should I up it? I just started a few weeks ago. Is citrate OK to take?

Thank you for the help. I genuinely appreciate it.

well a few things

1-thats is a very very low dose..magnesium can be taken to bowel tolerance usually with no issues, unless you haev damaged kidneys

2. magnesium citrate is made from citric acid which in turn is made from aspergillis niger which is a form of mold-fungus..imo its bad stuff as those of us with yeast-fungus, do not need any kind of products with yeast-fungus. I was using a brand of magesium malate -Natures Life 90 grams of loose powder..malate is made from malic acid-aples so it supposedly is acid based which helps in absorption

3. However my magnesum levels dropped after trying to keep up my magnesium levels with these oral magnesium supps, BUT i was dumping large amts of metals..however i do know that as we age, it becomes harder for us to absorb many things including magnesium..this is written about and accepted medical-scientific understanding...thus I have gone to magnesium IV's and magnesium oil-creamw ith dmso as teh latetr gets it into blood stream and both avoid gut absoprtion issues

one way I believe and this is referred to by wilson in his book on adrenal fatigue, is that if we do not have enough magesium at cellular level for which there is no test (other than imo hair tests), we do not absorb potassiuma nd potassium blood levesl will rise to above normal and imo calcium will also. This is because both require adequate levels of magnesium in body to absorb potassium and calcium...

but magnesium levels should be kept high as also imo as i have experienced as someone else on here mentioned. that we believe magnesium is depleted in bug killing/die off maybe as they are in panic mood and eating everything they can..as they love magnesium

Thanks mercury! What magnesium should I get?

sorry need to be a better typist-- e. Under $20 for 360 grams for the Natures Life mag malate and dose though the day more so in pm hours

suggest laying off calcium and potassium for a few weeks to ensure its not building up in blood, as without magnesium, you are not absorbing anyway and its adding to fibrin--read the Calcium Bomb book

Er magnseiun Malate pill form??

I'll just get the liquid form. Is it refrigerated? I'll get it from the vitamin/health food store tomorrow! My legs are killing me!! Should I take at bed time? Or twice per day?

Gosh this is a lot of supplements and pills it makes me nervous that something will interact badly with the other lol.

Bless you for your help. I'm such a hot mess and I am lucky to call you all my friends.

Epsom salt bath soaks may help with getting magnesium right into the tissues where it is needed.

Also, when my legs have that dreaded RLS stuff going on, I find taking a dose of homeopathic Causticum to be very helpful. Thankfully, homeopathy doesn't cost much (less than $10 for a small vial of the pellets).

if that does not work t(he creams or oils you get on line), you may need a more active ingredient to help metabolize and absorb and this r/x of magnesium chloride oil with DMSO I think kicks A..ie its good

but i really think the creams-oil are the way to go

i think i pay around 120-$140 for a months suply of the magnesium oil with DMSO and most LLMDs or NDs or NP's should be smart enough to take time from trying to kill us with abx and realize our bodies can benefit from magnesium :)

yes but keep in mind its the end results that count; i spent likely $1000 on worthless crap probiotics
thats about 4 bottles and applying it 2-3 times a day to legs

hope the creams or oils work that you are ordering on line

If your magnesium levels are supported, life is 100% better..

thank you border! malate...I'll have to look in to that I appreciate it!

I don't know if I'd be good with meditating, but I am not one to turn something down without even trying, so I'll look it up on youtube and give it a shot! I'm just so anxious..

I appreciate your last statement..I'm sure that's what will happen. I am being very diligant with my diet and taking medication even when I feel bad..and I am drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of extra things like green vibrance and extra probiodics, although I have a feeling I need to go for a better probiodic as I am still not regular. Some days yes, but I haven't used the bathroom for 2 days even though I'm taking probiodics (about 65 billion per day) Maybe I need to take more. I am only taking acodiphilus 8 pills per day at 5 billion per pill. Think I need to do something fancier with more strains.

Let's just put it this way "mom" LOL...if I eat any more spinach, I'll become Popeye. I probably need a better probiodic. Considering the LLMD knew I had a Candida overgrowth before starting me on abx, I'm sure it's probably only gotten worse due to abx. In fact, at times lately, I feel even a little irritated in my lady areas So that could be why I'm all messed up in digestion area. It could also be from all the nut products I've been consuming. Tons of almond butter in the last few days and some almond milk..my hubby said it's binding. But that's one of the only things I have to snack on and I have a problem giving it up.

I've been taking Magnesium citrate, but I was told it was bad, so I'll have to get the malate.

I will definitely look in to the meditation. I'm very open minded lately.

Thanks again
