Magnesium or not to magnesium? That's the ?

I cannot live without my magnesium. It helps calm twitches, helps my bowels, calms my nerves and helps with sleep. Lyme strips you of magnesium and I believe it is a needed mineral.

From all I have learned magnesium being too low can cause a heart attack. Mag relaxes muscles. Calcium tightens them. I have read this on medical/Dr sites.

If I don't take mine I have chest pains, muscle spasms all over, and ache more. If someone poops too much from mag though I was told by a DR mag glycinate or malate is best.

Malate form many with fibromyalgia take. Hope this helps.

I kind of go back and forth with it. My magnesium levels are a little on the low side, so I'd been supplementing for a while. I went off for a while to see if that would stop feeding the biofilms, and I do have to say I herxed a bit more in that time period, but there were so many other possible factors contributing to that that it's kind of hard to pinpoint what it did.

I try to avoid taking it now, and only once I start getting really twitchy or have more nerve pain do I start it up again.

how do you know if you have biofilms? is that when bands 83-93 are positive?
and if magnesium is bad for biofilms, is it better to take detox baths without epsom salt?

I couldn't have coped without Magnesium supplements and Epsom salt baths during my treatment. I needed it for muscle cramps, nerve twitches, bowel regulation and keeping my heart on a regular beat.

Not that I am nearing 100% wellness, I need it less and less.

It is probably something you have to figure out for yourself. How do you feel when you take it and when you don't? Do you have symptoms that would be alleviated by the Magnesium?

I am from Connecticut and have been dealing with Lyme since 2011(possibly earlier). Where I lived ticks were everywhere and after walking my dog I would on average remove 10-20+ ticks dog and deer, from Reilly my dog. Even with max protection for myself I would also have to remove 3-4 from my clothes and body immediately after a walk.
I guess this isn't the place for my Lyme story but I must say that without magnesium if I tried any cardiovascular activity my heart would feel like it was going to explode.
Sans Lyme I'm a healthy guy, mountain biker, ski instructor, soccer player, etc, but after being infected I felt like I had the heart of an 80 year old man.
When I learned about magnesium I began taking 400mg regularly along with taurine and 400-800 mg prior to any exercise I would attempt.
This combo both helped my blood pressure and allowed me to be active without the sharp burning heart pain.
From what I've read this pain is caused by swelling of the left(?) Ventricle in the heart and is a similar pain to that of a heart attack.
That being said I'm still sick, hoping to find iv or intramuscular abx cheap enough to supplement my herbal attack.
