My Neuro suggested Magnesium 8mo ago, and even though I trusted him, I wasn't so sure about it. By darn it worked. No I don't have total relief from muscle pain, but it's a lot better. I can tell you if I miss the capsule each am (like I'm still asleep when I take my meds), I know it in a few hours cause I feel like someone has beat me all over with a baseball bat.
