i'm hoping it was just the virus that threw things off and not having my Mg when i needed it. or i may need a higher dose of Topamax but i'll need to get those labs first.

I misunderstood. You only take the magnesium during certain times of the month? I take 400mg everyday for bone support, along with calcium and vit d3.

i do not take calcium supplements since with high vit D supplementation diet is not recommended if diet is decent. I would think that is your case too with all the vegs you eat. The risk is hypercalcemia -- now i do recall you had osteomalacia onset or something so you have special needs? I just hope if your doc has ordered Ca&Mg&D supplmentation that she monitors your blood Ca++ frequently to ensure safe levels and re-evaluate need for continued Ca bone repletion via supplementation route. if not i sure would request that testing. it concerns me Bizi.

In general, i
only take magnesium when i don't get enough in my diet (it's pretty easy for me to tell). I have another type of magnesium for migraine prophylaxis of hormonal migraines. That, I do usually take a in a small amount certain days in the month, based on my cycle - if i have not had enough in my diet, i use a higher dose of it.
The two kinds I have are:
- Mg citrate (Natural Calm) for general purpose.
- Mg pidolate (Mag2) - additional prophylactic for hormonal migraines (highly absorbable, fast-acting).
it has helped a little but not much. it does not seem to be the prevailing factor in those migraines.
Now when i had my stomach upset/reflux, i was not eating much, plus add the omeprazole ... well!
so i did need some Mg but i did not dare use Natural Calm (too acidic). So, i used my Mg pidolate vials.... two at a time. so that's why i used it up so fast and was embarrased to ask for more so quick. i am still not eating properly so i still need the supplementation at times. still afraid to try the Calm.
gosh that was a laborious explanation. i hope you are not as confused as i am. please don't ask me to clarify. i think my brain will put itself into a pretzel if i tried!
