Hi Lar,
Thanks for getting back to me about my unusual question! I'm going to try combining the magnesium with my calcium and see how that goes.

> It sounds like a paradoxical reaction, as magnesium is generally recommended for women who have that specific symptom. In addition to the magnesium, take between 250 and 500 mg calcium. Take it with the magnesium, whenever you take the magnesium, at a ratio of between 1:1 and 1:2 magnesium to calcium.
