All,

As a quick recap, I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. The docs also waver on calling it erythromelalgia. Not much has helped so we continue to throw darts. The latest is high dose magnesium.

My doc wants me to try Mag Threonate, said start with 1000 mg, and ramp it up. He wasn't clear, other than saying the intake will be higher than Mag Citrate, and others. I am taking Doctors Best Brain Magnesium, 1200 mg, or 8 capsules per day, because it is the "best deal" so far. But I'd also like to ramp it higher.

The issues: it is a pain to take so many capsules and it is getting expensive.

Is there an alternative to Mag Threonate that will be just as bioavailable, with fewer capsules and less cost? Can this be written as a prescription?
