Hum, strange that it made my feet hot. I tested it on my forearm and a couple of days later, I put it all over my feet. Scared to use it now. Maybe I will try in a smaller area, daytime. Thanks.


With autonomic neuropathy, my bp goes up and down. Would be hard to tell if it went down.

You might be putting too much on? It doesn't take alot to get effects. It is not like a moisturizing lotion. A quarter's diameter of lotion divided in 1/2 ...half for each foot. Mostly on the top, and perhaps the toes. A little goes a long way.

Yes, I did use a lot, ha. The bottle has no good directions. I will use just a dab next time!

I remember the first time I soaked my feet in warm water with Epsom salt, I got severe burning in the area where it had contact with the water. But, I tried and tried again until maybe on my 2nd week, the burning stopped and until now I don't experience any burning anymore.

I also use Epsom lotion in my feet, hands and neck every night after soaking with the Epsom salt and no burning as well. I use generous amount of Epsom lotion but just the same i experience no burning.

Just wanted to share...last night after a LONG 11 hour work day/night, my legs were hurting, muscle pain. Woke up at 4am couldnt stand it so I put mag lotion on back of my calves and behind my knee...WOW. Pain stopped in about 30 minutes, back to sleep.

MrsD I tried to stop taking my diuretic last week, since my bp was good, 98/78 around there, give or take. I was off it for a week and it slowly kept climbing, 130/90...

Is it possible to ever get off that med???

I can take it every other day and do well.

If every other day works, then I'd try that, and keep a log.

I was having terrible BP control, while on that lisinopril. And I was using the CVS epsom lotion also nightly. Once I stopped that lisinopril which was over stressing my system big time with the lupus and bradykinin excess, my pressure dropped! With the tiny beta blocker dose, + the magnesium lotion --still it was the CVS until just recently, my pressure was normal in the doctor's office for the first time in YEARS!

You might need longer on the lotion to see a mega effect.

Just keep taking it and recording it. Your doctor will want to see that log... like mine did. It is possible eventually you may be able to stop that med. No guarantees though!
