Default Re: I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.

I did everything I could today:
B12
Iron
2 bananas (no cream of tarter but I'll try that)
cal/mag
Cham tea (it's a mix with other sleepy teas)
no alcohol (not that I do a lot anyway)
I need to sleep. I'm not in bed yet but right now my legs feel tired. I'm tired and dealing with an appt for the baby today and 2 sick kids. I'm gonna try to sleep.

A hot shower before bed always helps me, too.

And remember, if you're *deficient in trace minerals, it will take a bit to build the stores back up. Just taking the supp may or may not help immediately.

If you already know you tend to pit your nutritional needs low on the priority list (I do that! ) then it's a wicked good likelihood that it's related

Have you heard of nettle tea infusions? Rich in all those minerals, theyare an excellent way to boost.

Yup I've got lots of nettle tea in my pantry but I haven't been making it as much this past week. I'm going to today though, we have a house full of sickies.
I think my nutrition won't be lacking quite as much next month. We get a csa box every week and I love veggies. I am not going to the store very often right now so we don't have as much fresh stuff.
I need to be more purposeful in my eating.

ITU Totally. I have most of the ingredients to nourish myself...it's just the doing of it that gets postponed

Default Re: I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.

Yup, I was gonna make tea this morning but everything else got in the way, like changing diapers and feeding the kids. I am determined to make tea today though.
And I've had some vit. B and a banana. I will have another later and take my iron before dinner and cal/mag before bed. So I have a plan. Hopefully I stick to it.

Magnesium Oil may help. You spray it right on your legs and rub in. I use the Life Force brand.
