I didn't know that about the GI with Mag.. and thats funny that you mention it because I had to triple down on my iron... which was No bueno for my bathroom habits ha ha! And then I noticed after taking the mag a few times that it just didn't seem to be a problem. But I didnt click it until you said...

The magnesium is Magnesium Oxide ( 400mg) My iron levels were at 10 I believe.. Maybe 11.. I can't remember. I'll have to go back and look. So my doctor was mostly concerned about this. But most of my symptoms didn't go away until I started the B's. I still have some symptoms but they are very mild ...

The supplements do worry me. I feel fine right now.. in fact great. But I am hesitant to tell my doctor that because I'm afraid they will treat it as a bandaid and send me on my way. I know she is expecting my tinglings and numbness and everything to be explained by lack of nutrients. I am holding s...

Hey.. just a little update. I am now on Iron and Vitamin C three times daily. It did not help with the tingles, I have still gotten them sporadically and just lasting a few seconds here and there in one spot and then another. I was getting very tired and dizzy in the afternoon. So much that I needed...

Ok, so do any of you know of any connection to gluten sensitivity or any other sensitivities (food related) or vitamin deficiencies that can cause sleep apnea? I'm not talking obstructive kind. As I don't believe I have that. Like I mentioned before, my sleep doctor retired before I got a final diag...

lyndacarol, You have given me so much insight! Thank you! Asian restaurants do use MSG. In fact, my husband is asian and I have spent a great deal of time over the last six years with his family overseas as well as here. My mother in law would come to visit and bring a jar of msg seasoning for when ...

Thank you so much for your responses so far! I greatly appreciate it. I have been doing some reading on this forum all day. Looking at links on blood tests and vitamin deficiencies. I emailed my doctor earlier today requesting that we do a more thorough blood work up of more nutrients. They did the ...

I forgot to mention something else.. Sorry, I have a million distractions right now so I feel like my post is a little scatter brained. (could that be something to add too? ha ha! Probably not, since the cause of my distractions is 2 and 4 years old. ;) ) I have some sort of sensory issue that I hav...

I forgot to mention that I am 28 yr old female

Ok.. First off.. I have a very strong family presence of MS. One family member has already passed from old age but lived with MS all her life. I have 3 others on my mothers side and one on my fathers side. About 6 months ago I noticed that both of my big toes are numb. Its not completely numb throug...
