Hey Jas,
How have you been feeling on the magnesium? Are you still taking it?I just wanted to put in an update on how it is helping me (late is better than never...I think?)
I bought Solgar's Chelated Magnesium. Unfortunately, I didn'y realize it had calcium in it until I already started taking it. It doesn't have much calcium in it though and I don't take any other sort of Calcium. So I think it shouldn't have much affect. I haven't been on this new mag for long and I've noticed a difference already. It was somewhat of a small change at first but then I realized, "Hey, I'm not ripping my husband's head off anymore." JLx was right. Changing away from the magnesium oxide made a big difference. And to tell you the truth, I don't know if it is the new magnesium or the Fish oil, but my low days aren't so low anymore.
>* O yep, I know that scenario only too well! It seems that my anxiety and stress builds up, but I can handle a great deal when the "public me" is in charge ( well, most of the time). But at home, with my husband, the smallest thing, like once I couldn't chop cilantro for dinner properly and fell into heap crying on the kitchen floor. Or I wanted to move some furniture around all of a sudden and he didn't, so I just freaked out at him!
Like you, I've noticed my irritabilty is mainly with family. The "public me" like you said can handle situations easier. I think I know why I have this problem and unfortunately it is all psycoclogical rather than a medicine problem.
> The funny thing is that at the time, I don't feel my reaction is strange. Like you say, I just go out of control. With that driving to town over pictures incident I mentioned before, I didn't even feel that was odd, the next day at the Pdoc's office!! It was only after I'd had a medication change and some enforced "rest" that I recognized my behaviour as weird!
Lack of rest really affects me also. If I get a lot of sleep, I can be a completly rational person. For me to get enough sleep, though, is imposible. I really would seem calm and cool then, because, I would never be around, I'd be sleeping the whole time.>Sorry this was so long, Kel. But it feels good to share with someone who seems to have similar circumstances.
I agree!
Take care of yourself! I hope things are going better.
Kel
