antonina,
how are you feeling now? There are some older posts regarding having too much epsom salts in the bath, but I haven't found any yet regarding epsom lotion. |

Have you tried to gently rinse/wash it off, as much a possible just in case?

i called poison control a few minutes ago & the doc said you cannot absorb enough mag transdermally to cause an overdose. needless to say i am very relieved!
i'm so glad to stay home & not have to race (hobble?) to the hospital. thanks again for your fast responses. |

 It's good you phoned them. That would make you feel less stressed about it at least.Did it help the pain, that's the next question.

Magnesium dilates blood vessels and lowers
Blood pressure. You may feel very tired if You over use it. I rotate application sites To avoid overuse. I find that it will improve one area For several days, so rotation works for Me. edit to add: I think a quarter's size dollop per application is enough. You can divide that up into smaller bits for more areas. A little goes a long way. I consistently post this.... slathering it on is not necessary...it is not a moisturizer or cosmetic. If you are not better in 24 hrs I'd get some kidney testing done to make sure your kidneys are functioning adequately. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/246489-overview
