Lightbulb I see...

good potassium... I don't see a magnesium source other than the dairy, which may not be enough.

The shaking of the legs...can also be interpreted as restless leg syndrome.
And magnesium is used for that. The need or feeling to move when not
necessary. Doctors are being offered DRUGS for this by the drug companies... and one is Requip.
It has alot of side effects.. and so magnesium should be tried first.
We have had posters on both PN and Chronic pain who could not tolerate Requip
or Mirapex or Sinemet... all can be offered by the doctor.

Does Alan take any vitamins? Working out places a need for vit C,
and B6 for the muscles. Not to mention magnesium. Magnesium works with
calcium --they are both needed for proper functions.

3oz of almonds provide a goodly amount of magnesium without taking supplements. (270mg)
