what do you do if you are restless?
shower? brandy:^O a 10 mile trot?
calcium and magnesium eh? hhmmmm will give them a go I reckon. I think my tablets mess me about, I know the diabetic Metformin robs you of your B vitamins, I take a supplement for them.
Merc, with you there mate, usually about 3am I wake, I sit on the end of the bed and try to relax, I have to put one foot on the floor as I sometimes nod off again and I've nearly fallen over a couple of times:^O
These are the ones I use.
Its a combined supplement as magnesium does not work without calcium. If you have a good amount of dairy in your diet you could just try a straight magnesium supplement. But of course its good for women to have plenty of calcium.
Its the magnesium that relaxes. Its marvellous. It goes straight to the nerves and calms them. This works quite quickly (10-15 mins) I find. I have recommended this to lots of people who are now converts including a friend with cancer who used to get awful restless legs at night and is now greatly improved and has excellent sleep. His wife reminds him to keep taking so she sleeps ok too!
Only take this supplement at night though!! I met a friend of mine the other day and she said she was taking this supplement in the morning and wondering why she was feeling so low on energy in the daytime! The health food shop had told her to take it in the morning. Taking it at night really chills you out, calms you and gives you blissful sleep so you are properly refreshed for the next day.
My hubby takes calcium that he gets on prescription. I wonder if it could be swapped for the combined one or if you can just get magnesium on it's own. What about if you take other drugs though? He takes all sorts for cancer and anemia and blood pressure and rapid heart beat.:|
CG, I'd check with the doctor first, I think I may give it a go though, I do take a multi vit with all that in but I doubt there's enough in it.
sounds good though, I hope it works.
