Fin - The past few days I have been a spastic mess. Last night I took a nice Epsom salt bath before bed. I finally slept well. The muscles were nice and relaxed for once. I swear by these baths. They really, really help me. Naturally, don't take it while you are home alone. I take them while dds are here just in case I get the water too hot and have trouble.

From the Epsom Salt Council . org:

Studies show these benefits from the major components of Epsom Salt may:

Magnesium:

* Ease stress and improves sleep and concentration
* Help muscles and nerves function properly
* Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes
* Help prevent artery hardening and blood clots
* Make insulin more effective
* Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps
* Improve oxygen use

Sulfates:

* Flush toxins
* Improve absorption of nutrients
* Help form joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins
* Help prevent or ease migraine headaches
