I just came back from the store. I bought a tube of Aquaphor. Tonight, before I go to bed. I'll mix up a small batch with the epsom salts and water. Then I'll rub it on my toes.

Hey, Necessity is the mother of invention, right?

I'm also going to find which foods are HIGH in Magnesium. If it's not in the red meat area, then IT'S FINE WITH ME!!!

Can't thank you enough.

Oh, I just drank a big glass of water. I realized I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING THIS on a regular basis.

So I have the B-12 thing going on for the neuropathy, I'll have the epsom salts thing going on for the cramps.

And I just ate 4 prunes for lunch. I don't get hungry during the day. but I have to eat SOMETHING. So I ate 4 nice prunes. I don't get the low sugar like many diabetics do. Never have. I do check though. I'll have my dinner at 5.

I do have a question about fish. I eat fish every single day. If I don't have it for lunch, I have it for dinner. I'm lucky, I like fish. It's usually Turbot fillet, or fillet of sole. Sometimes I'll eat shrimp or scallops (cholesterol is fine).

Am I having too much mercury? What are signs of too much mercury?

Some one said "oh my god, you eat fish every day??". Now we're talking one piece of fish. Not a whole plate of fish.

I mean, I said to myself "if it's good enough for the Japanese and I don't hear about them coming down with Mercury Poisoning, right??"

Is fish every day a bad thing or a sensible thing. I do have chicken or a small dish of low carb pasta with tomato sauce on the other meal that does not include fish.

I don't have a lot of choices in my meal plan. I used to self medicate with food so I had to completely re-wire my brain and not go off in THAT direction. So what happened to me, is that I happen to like fish. I broil it with a little lemon and garlic and cajun seasoning. With veggies on the side.

But I'm kind of afraid of the mercury especially after what that person said to me.

Alan won't go near any kind of pork or ribs or meat. Or cold cuts, or anything curly. lol

Oh, I do Broiled or grilled chicken wraps for Alan (with tomato sauce on it).

His PSA went down from 3.0 to 2.72 (all that tomato sauce on his chicken)

Thanks much for all the GREAT information.
