Magnesium lotion/spray
 

Hi I work in a pharmacy in New Zealand and we sell both otc so I'm going to get some and try it. I've taken magnesium capsules before and vitamin b2 and b6 but didn't notice a difference. I'll try the magnesium again though as it is a vital mineral.
It's going into summer here so I have a flare up everyday, mainly with my feet and this then causes the rest of me to feel overheated and sweaty. It's revolting. We have to wear closed in shoes at work that don't help! Once summer is really here I need the fan going on my feet all night so I can sleep. My husband is generally wrapped up in blankets and duvet by the time we get up but he never complains. He said when he gets into bed beside me he can feel the heat radiate off me. Hence I am a hear source for our cats which makes me over heat. I'm sure if I put my feet in a basin of water the water would boil. My hands are usually in semi flare up but they don't make life as miserable as my feet do. Is this a hereditary thing? My sister and three cousins have it as well. I've had this now for about 20years so I'm starting to know no difference. If I stand bare feet on our wooden kitchen floor it's hot so everyone knows where I've been lol

Hi Angel 14

Nice to see another NZer here. ( : although the reason for being here is not so good. My feet sound pretty much like yours. I've been mildly dreading the coming summer.

Are you referring to a Magnesium lotion? Would most chemists have it? And I was unsure what the second thing you were referring to was. Have you ever tried wet socks. I saw it mentioned on another website. Especially at night. Wet ankle high socks, towel in bed and can often sleep because the burning goes right down.

And I would please! In the U.K. I don't pay for my treatment and my PN is crippling me. The pain keeps me awake all night so I tend to rest in the afternoon. At 84+ my life is a bit miserable so any help or advice on this so and so condition would be very welcome. Edmunduk.

Look on your local Amazon pages first. There are many creams and lotions with magnesium in them, now.

Our favorite for a while here was just discontinued by Morton company. I bought ahead 3 bottles when we discovered this, so I am set for a while.

Here is one example I found at Amazon UK

You can also soak in epsom salt baths, made from lukewarm water. Some magnesium gets thru the skin this way.
I have also made concentrated magnesium water, (when on vacation) for my knees. Dissolved epsom salts in a small tub and soaked a cotton cloth in it and put over the knees. I refreshed this as the water evaporated several times over about an hour. (this was outside on a boat dock). If you use a bath tub --about 6 ounces of the epsom salt is enough for most people.
Use 2 ounces in a small dish pan if only doing the feet.
