JL,
Thanks for the informatitive response. To answer the questions, the doctor tells me that my kidneys are not working so well and that is some of the reason why I have calcium malabsorption. Now it is also discovered that I have gluten intolerance (they tell me it is not fullblown celiacs), and he has also said I have secondary hyperparathyroidism. I too have had stones in the past, and much muscle disturbance. I see the doctor tomorrow and will ask about a Vit D shot. The calcium-vit D supp that I take is Citrical, 2 tablets contain 400 mg. calcium and 400 IU Vit D3. As far as the magnesium, about a year ago a doctor gave me an injection of mag and I got the same heart pounding thing. I have only tried 100 - 200 mg. of mag glycinate/day (I get serious diarrhea) and also the malic acid suppl. contained 125 mg. magnesium citrate (1/d). I also know that if I take actonel 35 mg. weekly I get problems with the face going numb, etc., but with a reduced dose of 30 mg. weekly I was ok. I took boniva for awhile and it caused me severe back pain. I like your idea about getting the mag liquid and adding tiny amounts, and I will see if I benefit from the epsom baths as well as look over Dr. Mercola's site. I do eat almonds and cashews daily. About 4 years ago, I was totally disabled by the tinnitis, facial numbness, hypersensitivies to lights and noise, and fullness in head that I lost 6 months of work. It finally disappeared when I was taken off the actonel (35) totally and had low Potassium level addressed. I hope the doctor that I see tomorrow will be blessed with helpfulness. Thanks ~ GW
