update, need opinions!!





a little background. i need some magnesium experts!!!!!!!!

last summer i was dx'd with a magnesium deficiency. serum mg was .5 (1.5-2.2 range). i have a RSI and extremely tight muscles, winged shoulders, which i am in physical therapy for and parasthesias in both my hands constantly for 2 years now.. muscles not spasming but the muscles are insanely tight even tho i avoid using them. i have gotten massage blah blah blah, they just tighten back up even when im not doing anything. i am in a strengthening program

started supplementing a ton with citrate and glycinate and epsom on occasions. in november my rbc magnesuim was a 4.7 (4.2-6.8 range)

last week i tested..like 10 months later and it's just a 5 (4.2-6.8). my serum mg when i have tested it..is always like a 2.

ive been taking 800 mgs a day. i am going to start taking at least 1000-1200 each day. the thing is i do FEEL the magnesium. sometimes i feel almost too relaxed when i take high doses. i dont like it

so with rbc magnesium testing, do your red blood cells change out like every 3 months or is my rbc magnesium slowly increasing over time and adding to my mg stores (make sense?) should i expect my rbc magnesium to go up .3 or so in the next year? or this unusual and my magnesium should be higher for taking so much?

thanks all. ive posted this elsewhere but haven't really gotten any replies.
