......Navy and black beans, also are high. Green veggies have chlorophyll and hence magnesium (magnesium is in the chlorophyll molecule).

The Chantix is a dopamine agonist... so when you stopped it, you could have stressed the muscles. Dopamine agonists are used for restless legs and PD........Suddenly stopping the Chantix would have been stressful metabolically for you, even if you didn't notice it.
Mrs D, Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll try to find the slow-mag or 64. I'm not near a WalMart, Costko, or Kmart. They're waaay across town in the suburbs, I'm in the heart of the city, but I'll try to find it, maybe make a trek on a day off.
I like Black Beans, and have greens (collards, turnip, kale, etc) frequently.
Just had Black-eye peas w/ham-hocks and Collards cooked w/bacon for New year's day (That's Southern good-luck food for the New Year- my wife's from Missouri & we live in MD) - maybe that helped reduce the pains (?). I had two big helpings of greens. Still have some left in the 'fridge', prolly should finish them off!
