THE DEPLETING MAGNESIUM

After yesterday ..

I was sitting in the park and suddenly realised my thighs were hurting quite a bit and remembered they ached a little last night.

I should have taken pills last night when I noticed they were aching and I forgot. I also shot out the house, do not even get me started on this, and forgot to take them this morning.

I cycled for three days in a row hoping that the cycling might reduce the heart issues but seems to have succeeded only in depleting my magnesium faster than I can absorb it.

I had stayed out for around four hours on the third day of cycling and this looks to be a mistake .. but only if it was the cycling that had this depleting magnesium effect and it is not just something that happens at random?

Making this even more bizarre is that I have actually eaten normally and all meals with leafy vegetables and meat, known to be high in magnesium.

So the only things I have changed recently and leading up the trying to get to a GP and then feeling like I was having a breakdown and then barely able to walk was the cycling and eating normally.

I have even asked myself if it could even be possible that eating brought this on, but it makes no sense at all and I simply cannot think of even how this could be possible?!

Exercise does deplete magnesium and as I had been doing this for three days, with the irony of it being so that I could make this journey without issues, I have to conclude that this is what caused the issue.

So I ate ..


  • All Vitamin Pills taken for four days with no misses
  • Chicken Salad Sandwich
  • Steak Pie and Runner Beans and mashed potato
  • Salad with slices ham, rocket, cabbage, egg, boiled potatoes and spring onions
  • Two home made Burgers with lots of salad rocket, lettuce, gherkins (no chips .. EVER)
  • Purdey's Drinks on odd occasions, with Vitamins
So with that and the Magnesium, Calcium and Vit D3 pills along with the B-Complex pills and even Glucosamine Sulphate how could I be low on bloody magnesium?!

Now remember? A magnesium deficiency is and had been fatal even to sportsmen and often out of the blue and with little or no warning. A .. deficiency.

I am getting king-sized headache, metaphorically speaking, warnings and this is more now than just a deficiency and is a malabsorption problem and .. well .. they kind of need to find out why .. because if I die in my present circumstances a lot of people are going to ask some very awkward questions of ..
  • NHS
  • DWP
  • Local Councils .. two in fact
Well .. I have been viewed by a fair few people and those that have read my health stuff will be a wee bit more than merely suspicious.

The rest that do not will ask why .. look into it .. find out and come to the same conclusions.

Then there are my family members, though one of which I do not want being hurt with everything she has going on. That is what bothers me the most about all this.

CONCRETE PILLOWS AT THE VESTRY


The evening after I compiled a set of medical note bullet points in an upcoming post ..

(MEDICAL NOTES: THE RUN THROUGH) ..

.. I had a bad night. A really bad night and in a lot of stomach pain that had me on and off the bed, sitting on the floor and clutching my stomach and wanting to die. It was .. rough. This has been an on and off thing for some years now and what I thought could be diverticulitis, though I had no diarrhoea but then I have not been eating much and lost a couple of stone and still decreasing.

This continued on from around 9pm or so until 5am in the morning at which point the pain had subsided enough that I fell asleep. I then was frustrated when I woke the next morning and to my shock with a different fucking pai riving me nuts. It was 2pm and I so bloody hate that. So I went and sat in the park and had my usual green Monster drink and then decided to get my bike out and go for a cycle. I am living in fear I am going back to the days where I do not sleep at night and last night did not help. My eye had calmed down a bit but when I awoke it felt like someone had hit me with a baseball bat and oddly enough it is my right eye I have always stated on here and to General Practitioner's I have issues with. I must stress this to the next GP when I tell them about the Hypomagnesemia and Behcet's Disease.

I realised upon getting my bike out that the tyres were a little spongey and I hd to leave the bike and try and find my pump, which I could not because someone moved everything around without consideration to my heart or memory issues among many others.

By the time I had to sk and then retrieve it I was already a lttle out of breath .. a lot of crime around here and I had left a decent bike outside .. no choice. I then pumped up by tyres and .. my God .. I was knackered and my heart was pounding like there was no tomorrow. I had to spend ten minutes or more leaning on some railings and it seemed my heart was just not going to calm down. IN the end it had come down enough for me to take my chances and cycle, hoping that if I take it gently it will just settle in a few minutes. It did.

I cycled for a few miles and ended up in EC1 near where some family come from.

At one point I got off the bike and walked for a bit and I had crossed over from EC1 to N1 and when I had I saw this rather neat establishment, cannot recall if it was a bar, pub or cafe, and as I looked across the road there appeared to be seats made out of pillows?! I thought that this cannot be right and they must be made of concrete but made to look like pillows?

I walked across the road to investigate and sure enough they were concrete and I spotted the word 'pillow' on the side of one of them. This was somewhere on Vestry Road.

I had spent the day wondering about some of the major mistakes I had realised with my medical notes, some that were immediately obvious, like why did they only go back two years, and others I realised later.

I had especially been thinking of one that I had only realised this morning and had to warn my daughter about it.

In fact a great many people need to be aware of this because I have this theory that from here on on, for the last couple of years and for the foreseeable years people are going to die at the hands of the NHS and no one will be any the wiser?!

When this post comes out, called 'MEDICAL NOTES: THE RUN THROUGH' you need to pay attention as the mistakes will be obvious.

They in fact may have already affected you or someone close to you without you already knowing it and will no doubt affect others over the years to come.

These can and will be fatal.

But .. it is a clear omission that wont be listed on anyone's medical record and once realised it will be very clear to see.

So will the NHS be doing this deliberately?

Now if this is the case the people behind it are idiots as there has already been a report claiming they might be responsible for 120,000 excess deaths. Excess .. deaths. That means above the average and no doubt is conservative.

Time to call it quits on overpaid morons running these public services of this is the case .. all of them .. gone! No 'ifs' and no 'buts'. Not fit for duty, very clearly.

Or .. is it like some believe and there is some culling going on?

Preposterous? Yeah you would think so but did I not read a report somewhere recently that a Tory MP stated we should just let old people die?! No doubt he was talking about his own parents and only that of the working classes and disabled?

You see many in power see us as slaves .. once we become useless at making them even more money in taxes and become an expense they want to hear of our demise or better yet .. be the direct cause of our demise.

Well then there is yet the other biggest Elephant in the room here and that is this ..

They have had the deaths and the problems presented to them several times over the years and yet ..

They continue to ignore them.

They have in recent ties had this reported in the national tabloids, four years late and with out of date numbers of deaths, while also having the reports put to them in the House of Commons and still continued to ignore them?! Stating that privacy of said individuals is for more important that their deaths. Despite the fact they are .. well .. dead?!

So my estimation is that the number of deaths is in excess of 150,000 and possibly 200,000 despite the fact that it was reported as 120,000 for benefit cuts.

Yeah except not only was that figure reported years ago and the suicide rate has sped up .. these were for disabled people .. ALONE!

So it is both conservative to the point of beyond ridiculous and not the whole picture either.

There as figure of 120,000 reported for the NHS too as I already mentioned and this could the a case of the exact same? Conservative and out of date so .. closing in on half a million British deaths at the hands of these welfare cuts?!

Oooh .. yeah sooo …

To now being doing this with the pills fiasco and the medical records is either stupidity of the highest order .. in which case they should be imprisoned and banned from ever working in public office for the rest of their lives or ..

This is part of a long term and fully intended plan I which case they should face the same punishments as Nazis they have spent years tracking down ..

Imprisoned for the rest of the natural lives.

So why is it they spent years chasing down Nazis and this goes on right under our nose and no one even reports it?

Is the crime treated differently depending on who it is you murder even en masse?

If you start asking yourself the same thing does the phrase 'Master Race' pop into your mind?

THOSE THAT DO NOT LISTEN

Well ...

I have said it and I have stated it and I have fucking well shouted it but people do not listen, make up their own minds and cannot even be bother to just check it out on their fucking phones ..

.. because nothing can get in the way of Candy Crush or Angry Birds, no fucking doubt? Or Twitter?!

Now then .. let me stress something because I am sure and have been for a while that doing too much is causing me a lot of harm. Because I often do too much and it fucking well hurts. Always. So I end up doing a day here and a day there and if the first day is not too much hassle I might do a consecutive second day in a row? This happened recently when I was taken by a car somewhere that then did not involve much else and I got a load of photographs while missing a few. I then went somewhere else the following day. Take the opportunity while it is there, is my motto.

But while I am out I am always wary of something untoward happening and as I am normally carrying a professional camera I get even more panicky because I cannot lose that camera.

I .. currently want to die and yet .. I STILL do not want to lose my camera because it is everything to me. Yes .. I am missing two lenses and it weighs a God damn ton .. but it is part of what I do and part of what I had been working towards for five years, when I finally got it.

Oh and it is paid for. Not on hire purchase or anything like that. I do not do hire purchase any more it is just not worth the hassle.

In recent times you cannot rust the government not to fuck you around so .. you cannot guarantee you can make payments on hire purchases or loans. So why would you even bother?

I refuse to even get a monthly mobile contract and have done for years, using pay as you go only which is way easier to deal with anyway.

Also remember, or look up, that I used to switch a lot my methods for getting around. I have long since stated on this very blog that I might cycle one day and if I was out for too long and went too far I would then switch to using a bus. Long, long, long have I stated this. Because sometimes I simply am buggered to cycle again the following day and if I try I used to end up with a lot of muscular pain .. despite the fact that Guy's Hospital told me that if I had not already figured out that cycling helps with Fibromyalgia symptoms .. they would have told me to buy a bike! But they key word they gave me was ..

"PACING!"

Yeah well .. it turns out there is more to it than that .. but then that Dr Kirkham was not even aware of the only drug that works with non-restorative sleep was Sodium Oxybate.

In some cases over-exercise or over-training has even resulted in cardiac arrest and death on the track. - https://www.elektramagnesium.com.au/dangers-over-exercise/
Yeah well there it is!

It was not that long ago that I stated that one of the many times I thought I was going to have a heart attack was travelling on a bus to the court hearing. You know? That first one where they did not even bother to turn up but then became guilty of double-standards by pulling me about not turning up to the second one?!

Over-doing it has resulted in cardiac arrest and death. Told yah!

Another thing I have always hated and I should state here, what it states on that webpage, you should be aware of if you have low magnesium levels, or Hypomagnesemia?

I absolutely loathe diet drinks and now it turns out that some sweeteners will deplete your magnesium levels? Are you frikkin serious?! Did they not tax sugar so that they put less of it in our drinks to help our health?! Now it might turn out that the increase in the use of sweeteners will increase death rates?! I .. I .. simply .. do not believe it!

I wonder how long before this little nugget will actually come out in the news media or to put it another way .. how many people will they kill before they realise that the sugar tax was all and only about money?!

Ooh wait .. was it suggested by Doctors? The same Doctors that NEVER look at their patients magnesium levels as stated in several places all over the Internet?!

The same Doctors that ignored my magnesium levels for years that has nearly killed me several times, out me in Accident & Emergency over half a dozen times and might now be well on its way of killing me for sure? THOSE DUMB-ARSE DOCTORS?!

LMAO!

THE SOUND OF DUCKS


I have been searching for sometime now on and off to discover why I might not be absorbing magnesium into my body. This was diagnosed three or four years ago, that I have a magnesium problem, and I have been getting signs that there is more to it but ignored this as I thought it was my memory issues.

The fact I have memory issues is even more of a reason as to why these things should have been checked out but instead was ignored by the NHS to save money!

In fact after a discussion with a friend of mine who suffers from Type 1 Diabetes he told me that in recent years he does not even bother seeing his Doctor because every time he ever complains about anything his response is always “Oh it is your Diabetes causing it” ..

There are so many things wrong with that crap and this attitude that I do not even know where to begin?!

As I said to my friend ..

Fuck me, they can't say that! They are GENERAL Pratitioners and are not specialists and nor do they posses the x-ray vision I am always accusing them of thinking that they posses! This could and probably has caused many deaths and who the fuck is going to be around to check this and stop this?!”

They spent years forst getting my Fibromyalgia wrong, then realising that I had it and then started to lie to me and then when I realised that I had it then lied to prevent me from being diagnosed. The fucking moment that they did admit that I had it everything fucking else, just like my diabetic friend, always drew the response ..

“Oh .. it is your Fibromyalgia” ..

.. even high blood pressure and so I did not get a referral .. despite the fact that having Fibromyalgia does not make high blood pressure any less deadly!

Hypomagnesimia .. also deadly .. more so than high blood pressure and guess how many referrals I got for that? None! I did not even get warned it was fucking deadly!!

Anyway .. enough of that ranting .. I FINALLY discovered some details regarding malabsorption of magnesium due to having two pills in twelve hours, three in twenty four and my thighs still aching ..

No doubt if I ever see a Doctor again, which I doubt, they will roll their eyes at me because I am supposed to and fully expected to believe ehtir bullshit and lies .. because them being overpaid to do fucking nothing is more important than people's lives and those poor unfortunate people relying on what little is left of the welfare system.

So here is a list of things that can cause the malabsorption of magnesium .. if it states Behcet's Disease in this list I am gonna flip!

Possible Causes of Hypomagnesemia ..

  • Crohn's Disease
  • Celiac sprue
  • Whipple's Disease
  • Short Bowel Disease
  • Intestinal Mucosal Disease
  • Cystic Fibrosis
  • Cholestatic Liver Disease (from Behcet's?)
  • Pancreatic Insufficiency
  • Intestinal lymphangiectasia (WTF?)
  • Radiation enteritis
  • Systematic mastocytosis
  • Terminal Ileal Disease (?)
  • Tubular Disorders
  • Congenital renal (kidney) magnesium wasting (Behcet's?)
  • Interstitial nephretitis
  • Acute Tubular Necrosis
  • Kidney Transplant
  • Renal Tubular Acidosis
  • Bartter's Syndrome (Well I seem to have a collection of these damn syndromes they deliberately ignore?!)

Now to make this whole thing about Hypomagnesemia complete .. the symptoms ..

  • Neurological
  • Behavioural Disturbances (Yes)
  • Irritability and anxiety (God yes)
  • Lethargy (God yes)
  • Impaired Memory and cognitive function (God yes)
  • Anorexia or Loss of Appetite (WTF?! Your joking, right?!)
  • Nausea and Vomiting (ooh great! Yes))
  • Seizures (ooh great! Yes and yet another one they lied about)

  • Muscular
  • Weakness (Yes)
  • Muscle Spasms (God Yes)
  • Tics ( I don't think so)
  • Muscle Cramps (ooh great! YES)
  • Hyperactive reflexes (No idea)
  • Impaired Muscle Coordination (ataxia)
  • Tremors (ooh great! Yes!)
  • Involuntary Eye Movements and Vertigo (ooh great. Yes)
  • Difficulty Swallowing (ooh great. Yes)

  • Metabolic
  • Increased Intracellular Calcium
  • Hyperglycemia (No I think)
  • Calcium Deficiency (No idea .. oh wait .. Osteopenia?)
  • Potassium Deficiency (brings on Sudden Death Syndrome)

  • Cardiovascular
  • Irregular Heart Beats (Yes)
    • Had over eighteen months .. recently discovered its the low magnesium which was discovered three years ago plus
  • Coronary Spasms (no idea)

Funny really recently reading that report that stated that a collection of Doctors had stated, maybe to government or the NHS, that there has been a sharp rise in patients with a combined series of physical pains and mental health problems. At a time when even Doctors and Pharmacists have admitted to me that the NHS and the government are going well out of their way to ignore people's health problems.

One pharmacist in Enfield shook his head when he admitted this to me and said ..

This will be a time bomb waiting to go off and go off it will down the road!”

When I asked him how he knew they was doing this he said that for many months they had noticed that way, way less prescriptions were coming through the door and that they were throwing away a hell of a lot of money in drugs because of their use-by dates. Due to this and the cost that he said all pharmacists were enduring, guess they are not good enough to save money for, they are now not ordering in a lot of frugs they would previously stock.

Ooh .. dear.

That conversation took place around two years ago and God knows how long that had been going on for. I was annoyed for not even thinking about this aspect of the cutbacks and not asking a pharmacist sooner. I could literally have walked into every pharmacy with a recorder in my pocket and sparked up a conversation and just collated all the recordings?!

Hmm .. maybe someone else is already doing this?

Maybe someone out there might start to do this?!



Causes of Hypomagnesemia


Symptoms of Low Magnesium or Hypomagnesemia ..

THE BASE IS BEHCET'S?


I have recently discovered that half my symptoms, one of two very long lists, are down to something called Behcet's Disease.

My daughter was diagnosed with this and she realised upon hearing it that I had it too, as I had been pressing her to get a diagnosis and had to keep on at this because her GP s, just like more than six I spoke to, fobbed her off. She was even told she would be referred to a Fibromyalgia specialist and that never arrived, or to be more precise has not from being told she was referred in October or maybe November 2017 to date. Today's date is the 12th May 2018.

I had never previously heard of the condition before but when I read the list of things it causes all I could think was “Oh .. my .. GOD?!”

I had only very recently discovered that these same useless and so called health professionals had also not informed me of something else.

After refusing to admit that one condition can cause numerous symptoms, stating it was most assuredly impossible, they then tried very hard not to confirm my self-diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. They were unsuccessful.

Then when it was time to get serious because I had very high blood pressure which skipped over to a Hypertensive Crisis from Hypertension Stage 2 from time to time they were quick to put that down to the Fibromyalgia they had previously refused to admit to.

Then when I had complained several times about night cramps and severe pains in my thighs most days they put this down to a low magnesium level and told me to buy my vitamin pills form an expensive store .. Holland & Barrett. Oddly they just told my daughter to do the same a few days back! Must have some contract with Holland & Barrett?

However they failed to tell me that low magnesium screws up many other things some of which I was already suffering from, like anxiety attacks for instance! In fact there was a long list of symptoms I had been experiencing that looked like they were down to this .. like my heart palpitations and chest issues?! Yeah I had even been fucking sent all over the place for stupid tests that found nothing and I stumble across the fact that it could be down to something they knew damn well I already had. The low magnesium .. only .. this time it looked like the supplements were failing to work in these instances?

I text my daughter because she has many of my symptoms, along with cervical cancer, who called me up and she said “Dad, your joking right?!” turns out she had just had results from a blood test and they told her that her magnesium was low and should buy pills from Holland & Barrett?! This is a GP Surgery 250 miles away and yet just like mine in London she gets told to go to Holland & Barrett?! Does this not strike you as a bit odd?

Now all these other pills and treatments they are going to refuse? What do you think the odds are that everyone will now get told to go to Holland & Barrett?!

Two days after this my head is still spinning from the realisation I have been deliberately fucked about and lied to yet again, lying by omission, when I get a text from my daughter pleading for me to call her and that she has been diagnosed with Behcet's Disease. Never heard of it.

I look up this Behcet's Disease and when I see the symptom list I cannot believe what I am seeing on the webpage before me. I click on half a dozen webpages to cross-reference just as I always do as I am always the one to tell others not to believe everything you read on the Internet. I am a stickler for facts and not one looking for what I want to hear. I know a lot of people that like hearing what they want to hear .. I really do! I am so .. not like that. I want to know the facts! Guess that is the scientist and analytical mind in me. There on these webpages is a list that covers almost the other half of the things I experience. More or less almost everything that cannot be linked to the low magnesium is in this list.

All that is .. except for the right knee issue which was spotted by Guy's Hospital as a separate and physical issue that then disappeared from my medical records .. though the knee issue is still there. Or at least it is on letters I have had from previous GPs I have had. Would be posted on here too, way back at some point. It even has my right eye irritation and I think it said something about back pain too? Though I was told by a chiropractor in Waltham Abbey that this was collapsed discs.

So I was talking to my daughter who now finally realises the truth I have been trying to get through to her and one that several close friends of hers believes only too well now too. That the NHS is corrupt, lies through its teeth and lies about patients health to save themselves and the government along with local councils and the DWP money.

If this was not bad enough they are now infuriated about the other .. aspects of this shocking truth .. they all get paid. They all get paid tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands each year so that the government can save a few thousand a year in payouts to stop people and families from starving to death .. while standing behind you with a proverbial whip to force you to go to work.

That would be bad enough in of itself but we are talking about sick and disabled people now and many with children too!

So tonight my daughter asked me ..

“Dad? You gave had these symptoms for years. I cannot believe that they did not diagnose you with this years ago?!”

I still have some research to do but I automatically thought that like everything else .. this must be a result of the Fibromyalgia and so intended to look for a link. Only I did not need to as only the second webpage I pulled up mentions Fibromyalgia on it. As I mostly skim read things anyway there is a chance that the first page mentioned Fibromyalgia too?

I did a little more research tonight and I found another webpage that seems to suggest that things might be the other way around? That Fibromyalgia might stem from Behcet's Disease?

Let us review ..

  • Bechet's Disease
    • Skin issues going back twenty six years
    • Joints maybe as much as thirty years - ankles
    • Hearing issues twenty years plus
    • Eye Issue around ten years
    • Mouth Issues over fifteen years

  • Fibromyalgia
    • Main one was feet .. fourteen years ago – ankles, joints, were way before this
    • Asked about for 13 years before discovering Fibromyalgia
    • Refused to admit I had it
    • Within five minutes of being diagnosed, figuratively speaking, I had high blood pressure and they were THEN quick to blame it on Fibromyalgia and once again refuse to refer me .. messing me about with Ramipril and Amlodopine and it is still high to this day

  • Low Magnesium
    • Diagnosed around 2014-15
    • Told to buy Vit ABC+ by Dr Andrew Theivendra of The Town Surgery in Enfield
    • No mention of affects on anxiety, heart palpitations or other things
      • Despite being dragged kicking and screaming, I did not want to go, to A&E several times

Ugh!

I did think about putting down a list of all symptoms along with the rough time each one started along with the longevity but it was .. daunting .. and overwhelming and would take a long time!

There have been in excess of 270 symptoms ranging from one offs, ones that occurred years ago but not lately, ones that appear from time to time, those more frequent and those that are more or less permanent.

I also struggled to think of what this would achieve. It would not help others that might be in this predicament, though by all accounts Behcet's Disease is pretty rare in itself. To have this along with Fibromyalgia, Hypertension Stage 2 and low magnesium must be very, very rare.

Let us not forget the damaged right knee either.

I had previously understood, from research, that all of the symptoms were from the fact that Fibromyalgia causes a lack of restorative sleep.

Restorative sleep is a deep sleep whereby the brain does all its clearing or say .. memory and all its detoxification and repairs, like muscles. Since discovering Fibromyalgia four years ago that is how I have understood it.

However .. after reading about Behcet's Disease and all the things it causes, low magnesium levels and all the things that causes I am starting to wonder if all this stuff with Firbomyalgia and non-restorative sleep was just guess work?!

I can only ever do research and cross-reference when it is not my field or do not have the necessary equipment to reach a factual conclusion.

I am in a place that is not that good and after all this while I had thought .. no, I had hoped that before now enough things would have been exposed to stop all this crap. But apparently not and so I have kept on going.

Except I not only find myself in a place now where I cannot nor do I want to continue but I find my daughter is also in the same place as me and I find it staggering.

Discovering what she has been through both in the distant and recent past, present and the future will shock the most hardened person to their core. All but the most amoral of people, that is.

She is not homeless .. but they are working on that, despite not being in a suitable home anyway. I can tell you that I KNEW she had my Fibromyalgia as she has most of my symptoms and a few I do not have. Fobbed off over that. Had two children diagnosed with Autism but then had an about face over that, with a letter that proves they decided the outcome before even meeting the children. Also has blood clots, or a blood clot. Cervical cancer, you had better believe it.

Domestic violence against her where the abuser was going to get..

  • Ten years and then Deported
    • Now not even a year out soon
    • Social Services backing abusers rights to access to his children
      • Threatened to throw one out of a window
    • Will get housed
    • Not being deported
    • Phoned and harrassed my daughter from prison
    • Was on the front cover of an edition of the Liverpool Echo

Yeah .. you had better believe it.

She got no help.

I got stabbed in the back over my health repeatedly.

I was then going to set up a business, promised help and then stabbed in the back over that and all help retracted. Just a couple months before finding out about my daughter's domestic violence.

I then moved to help my daughter without sorting out the wounds in my own back, risking my own health which then later suffered because ..

Help I was expecting both of us to get because my four grandchildren, Autism of two of them, daughter's FMS, blood clots, domestic violence and cervical cancer and my own FMS, high blood pressure and heart issues .. NOTHING!

I then had a breakdown which they failed to realise was part of a chemical unbalance I had told them for fucking years I had, had! Compounded by the lack of help.

Yet when it comes to everyone else .. we seem to live in a leftist society? Not from our point of view we do not! Just run by people that like it to appear that they are left wing but they are most certainly not. Especially when it comes to money and support they are not.

EDIT: It is funny as I have just remembered something. The one thing about Behcet's Disease I read, that I did not experience or though I had not, are these ulcers you get. I could not recall experiencing anything like this so I did not mention it .. until ..

Just the other day I was talking about insect bites and there was this one time in my house in Enfield when I felt this sudden pain get stronger and stronger and stronger. At first I thought I was being bitten by a Mosquito but after it reached the point I was leaping off my sofa I thought it must be a Horsefly? Only there was no Horsefly to be found in the house and it had never happened before or since .. as far as I can recall.

I ended up with a small crater in my lower leg and some swelling.

EDIT 2: It just gets better as just like low magnesium this Bechet's Disease has its own way of killing you ..

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a rare but severely debilitating vasculitis, which typically manifests as mucocutaneous disease with orogenital ulcers and skin lesions;1 however, involvement of the musculoskeletal system, eye, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, vascular beds, urogenital tract and cardio-pulmonary system can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. - http://www.clinmed.rcpjournal.org/content/17/1/71.full
