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
