s and sensory issues. magnesium deficit makes it hard to retain and utilize potassium, which is another key player in muscle function. sources vary but off the top of my head i think for men the basic recommendation for daily mag is about 400 mg, women about 300mg. ! He takes 1,500 MG of magnesium ...

Hi, With everything you've described, you have a problem on your hands. Essentially, you are left to guess and he is not helping himself. Can you get him to test for underlying infections such as EBV, chlamydia Pn, rickettsia and mycoplasmas? Also can he go to a good sports massage practioner and g...

42 ng/ml is a solid place to start. many need to work up to 40 as just their starting point. here's why it's not cool to hang out in the 10-40 zone: a large study examining ms risk in military personnel divided subjects into five groups by serum d3 level. the highest quintile was '40 ng/ml and up'....

Hi, If we go back to your first post, how did you find out he has MS? The "mild form" description is a bit vague. You do say he won't "get checked out". Why do you think that is? It's a little confusing to work from this to make a suggestion. Regards, He has NEVER been formally ...

Is the notes from your PCP? Most PCP really don't understand Vitamin D. My PCP has told me things about Vitamin D levels that is completely different than the information from my Neurologist. Some labs such as LabCorp allow patients to sign up and see their lab results. Labs list the "normal&q...

I dug up my doctor notes...

"25-Hydroxyvitamin D
Optimal Level: 25-100 ng/mL
Deficiency: <10 ng/mL
Toxicity: >150 ng/mL"

should be comforting, right? if only there were no flaws in widely used normal/reference ranges, and no issues with health pros' interpretations of tests that use them! Yes, it is comforting, however... we wished we knew what was causing his issues than. I was hoping it was a simple b12, of vim d3 ...

My partners vim D levels are at 42--- above optium range. It may be within normal limits but not optimum, at least according to my Neurologist. My range is supposed to be between 80-90 anything under that isn't acceptable. Hrmm, odd. According to mine. Anything under 25 is too low, anything over 30...

My partners vim D levels are at 42--- above optium range. We've already had him tested for any vim issues. He also takes 3,000 IU daily. Every vim is at optimum range for him.I've spent $900 on testing and re-testing.

He has had basic testing of vim, sugar, blood count/ levels, and etc We just need to get him more testing. The driving issues started way before the weed. He only has weed on fri- sunday, (days he doesn't work), and never drives on weed. He's very cautious. I just wanted to make that noted. We are s...

He's also done a 24 hour cortisol urine test.

I'm worried my partner has a mild form of M/s. My partner is in back pain 24/7. From is lower back all the way up to his neck. He is very fit and not overweight. We eat healthy (vegan) and very healthy contentious people. We have to see a chiro 2-3 times a week. He experiences such bad pain that he...

100% sure is good news as far as normal ranges are concerned. if you are interested in sharing the bloodwork results to ensure levels are optimal within the more broad and generally problematic 'normal' range, feel free. we can help assess. regards, ex-vegan They are at optimal. I have deficiency i...

And to be clear we are 100% sure it's not a vim deficiency. He takes a one-a-day male vim for men (for vegans) as well as a B12 iron pill, he also takes Vim D3 and flaxseed oil. We also make sure he gets enough sodium, calcium, magnum and vim A. He's also been having these issues on/off since the ag...

Hey, everyone.... I'm worried my partner has a mild form of M/s. My partner is in back pain 24/7. From is lower back all the way up to his neck. He is very fit and not overweight.
