You know, I will remind you, that diabetics lose magnesium in the urine all the time. Your spasms might be due to low mag levels.

Inositol is also recommended for type II diabetics.

I think 6mg of melatonin at night is too much. I'd cut back to 3mg and see what happens.

14 units is a small amount. Some cats get that dose (as a comparison).
I honestly don't think it's the magnesium deficiency. I take Malic Acid every day, I soak with epson salts at night. And the spasms ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MY SON EMAILS ME. ONLY THEN.

That CAN'T be a coincidence.

I will try taking one melatonin tonight. And I shall go to CVS and look into Inositol.

I feel like they should put my body in a case and study me.

lol

P.S. cats take 14 units of Lantus? Cats have diabetes???
