THE MAG EFFECT

Once you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, no matter how improbable, has to be the truth – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I have been screwed over by the public services in the UK by so very many and for so very long that for a number of years now I have thought it easier and way, way .. WAY more humane to make voluntary euthanasia much more appealing that continuing another day.

I was diagnosed 4 years ago with having low magnesium .. well it was more an educated guess on my GP's part at the time. No pills .. just told to go buy them, which they have since also done with my daughter.

Your body regulates magnesium and needs it and it it is in too short a supply ..

When low body pulls it out of your cells, like bones or organs.

POST-DIAGNOSIS

Note: Not a single one of these, post Hypomagnesemia diagnosis, was linked to low magnesium in any way .. despite a dozen GP visits and several hospital visits that included Ambulances.

Cardiac or other problems, which I have. There is not a good way to check this .. I was told about a device but was electronic, sounded expensive and had to basically be assembled yourself.

Arrhythmia is caused by low magnesium and hospitalised two or three times and been in to two tests for what the problem might be. Except they already knew for four years and failed to mention it at any point.

Tachycardia is an issue and magnesium makes it relax so you can end up with a high heart rate much higher then normal.

Low Energy which was down to lack of ATP which is the energy molecule in your body. With low levels of magnesium you can eventually lack the ATP and feel very tired. Which I have so many times I have lost count. It has been .. a trip to hell and back more times than I care to remember.

Nerves are affected in extremities like fingers and toes.

Osteoporosis or Osteopenia is another issues that ca arise from low magnesium.

High Blood Pressure.

PRE-DIAGNOSIS

Note: When it was diagnosed it was NEVER mentioned to me in four years that that these were linked to the Hypomagnesemia.

Bad enough on its own but add in that everything that ocurred later was ALSO not linked to Magnesium either and when I stumbled across it around 6 months ago, after having these things going back 15 years plus, I was simply astounded, felt betrayed, liked to and let down. My life has been destroyed and this has cost me EVEYRTHING from £150,000 included my inheritance, home, car and business. Worse still is they have done similar to my daughter and worse, see post 'Country Of The Damned'.

Insomnia. This has gone on for around 13 years plus.

Also causes constipation while at the same time too much can cause diarrhoea.

Muscular pain and cramp in calf muscles as well as my thighs .. which had mentioned to a GP for several years, several different GP's across several surgeries.

Others

I have also read that it could be down to the extreme anxiety too which may or may not be linked to the rapid Tachycardia and Arrhythmia?

Sudden Death Syndrome is yet another thing that low levels of magnesium can bring on which just occurs without warning signs.

So .. reasonable then to assume that if you are experiencing all of the others here, which I do, that this can be taken as a long list of warning signs, no?

So with all that being said .. what was it for 15 years and with all those misses?

Incompetence?

Intentionally lied to and fobbed off?

It can only be one .. or the other.

Food for thought.

EDIT: CRAP!! Forgot the video! Short-Term Memory Loss yet another damn issue!

THE MAGNESIUM EFFECT

Right then? A magnesium deficiency and what it can cause?

Now remember .. I was diagnosed as possibly having a magnesium deficiency around three or four years ago. I was told to buy Vit ABC+ from Holland & Barrett which I did, despite not believing the incredible pains in my thighs were a Vitamin deficiency. The next conversation I had with Dr Andrew Theivendra, who left the practice two years ago give or take a few months, involved me admitting I had my doubts but that the vitamin pills worked. Me admitting I was wrong. Does happen. These pains has been going on for a few years before they got bad enough for me to ask as is always the case with me. Annoys me because I never go straight away, go at the eleventh hour and then spend a year or two getting fobbed off. Then down the line I realised I was also being lied to. Go figure.

Fast forward a few years and suddenly I am having all these heart and chest things going on I do not understand and, never ringing '999' I get dragged into hospital several times.

Now I know that the deficiency was behind the thigh pains but I had absolutely no idea about the rest in the lists below.

You will note that some symptoms on the lists below I have been having a lot longer then three or four years? Well it now looks like they are all linked to this magnesium deficiency .. only the heart palpitations do not stop, .. umm I think, when I take magnesium supplements but the thigh pain does. Most of the time but sometimes the heart does behave for a few days at a time. Or at least did a few months ago.

The fact that the heart played up sometimes and not others may be down to the levels of magnesium in that I might have eaten foods with a high quantity of it and that along with the pills calmed the palpitations down? A possibility.

Things I did know about and points ..

• Muscles can hurt from magnesium deficiency
• Was originally given Quinine Sulphate for a fair old while
• Was then told, three GP s back, to buy Vit ABC+ from Holland & Barrett (for over 2 years)

Did not know about but which I have experienced

• Anxiety Attacks (Daughter might have)
• Panic Attacks
• Bowel Disease?
• Cystitis
• Depression (Daughter has too)
• Fatigue (Daughter has too)
• Hypertension (Stage 2 and Crisis)
• Heart Disease
• Cramps (Night Cramps)
• Fibromyalgia (Comes from?)
• Insomnia (Daughter has too)
• Tooth Decay
• Seizures
• Numbness & Tingling
• Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Daughter has too)
• Personality Changes
• Memory Function (2nd link below)(Daughter has too)
• Osteoporosis (diagnosed with Osteopenia)
• Mental Disorders

Others I am not affected by as far as I know..

• Liver & Kidney Disease (Daughter might have)
• Hyperglycemia
• Detoxification
• Blood Clots (Daughter has)
• Migraine (Daughter has)
• Diabetes (A Diabetic friend was convinced I did have years ago)
• Asthma (Daughter has)
• Raynaud's Syndrome (Do not know what it is)
• Coronary Spasms
• Cancer was mentioned .. increased risk? (Daughter has)
• Sudden Death (obviously not just yet)

Other notes

• Magnesium levels can be tested but they have not done this as far as I know (no blood taken)

So I have to ask myself if there is some problem with my body processing/absorbing the magnesium and been trying to find out if there is an issue that exists that affects this process.

This is because of what should be plainly obvious ..

• I am already taking magnesium pills and still having issues!

To think I could have had this all in hand for years if only they had bothered to .. investigate?! I am so bloody angry about this right now and it is probably just as well I do not have a GP because I would have a few choice words to say about them and the NHS.

I have bene trying to find something that I caught sight of that said something about some disorder to do with the uptake of magnesium and wondered if I had that

EQUIPMENT AT THE READY!

Well I'm sitting in St Catherine's Hospital and feeling .. weird and a little .. anxious.

I know this appointment won't come to much especially as I discovered this isn't the fast-track appointment I was told I was getting. That then comes from this one .. or if I get called back due a second appointment here?

But as well as this is the full MRI happening to someone else at 12.40pm.

I probably won't be able to put the tags on this until later on tonight and even then only when the two girls are asleep. You just can't do anything while they are awake.

Then we both feel shattered and we both have the short term memory part of Fibromyalgia anyway.

This are very simply .. impossible.

We are basically just struggling by while trying every now and then to reach out to get help.

At least we had a letter regarding what I believe to be the audiology test around the 5th December, I think it was.

A test for the youngest boy I wasn't even aware was tested came back OK, so no ADHD. Just a plain old needy child that thinks the rules apply to his three siblings and not him. Lol.

Last night good older brother was being called who didn't hear us. But the ten year-olds five year old brother heard us from his bed and started shouting downstairs to him. In the hope he would be told it's bedtime. Because he doesn't understand that being twice his age means he stays to longer. It's kinda funny.

I'm not really used to all this, never had children around to watch grow up.

I don't know what children do and at what age.

As I have said to several people here in making it up as I go along.

I'm getting tired all the time and it's getting worse but I've absolutely nowhere where I can relax.

The few times I get back to my own flat for a few hours I simply cannot relax there either.

But none of that had been on my mind for days because there is so much else going on all the time.

Of course this got a whole lot worse around a week ago and I literally don't know whether I'm coming or going.

I'm always one to have clean clothing on but I've only just managed to wash a load of clothes .. oops ..

Got called in.

Usual crap tests .. ECG which showed a little as did the blood pressure test ..

170/110

As I noted in the letter this is not what the GP referred to as a fast-track appointment.

In fact now I've been in the hospital a second time in not quite so sure it's a hospital. In fact it's more like an oversized GP Surgery and appears to have no beds/wards?

Not entirely sure what the point was with the building .. especially as it looks like it costs millions to build?

Anyway as I knew .. I was told to stop smoking .. it won't really do very much at all and I fucking hate it when they tell you that ..

.. so I told my usual story about turning down the offer of a Doctorate at Middlesex University where I would have worked on the software to teach keyhole surgeons how to do surgery.

Her eyes went wide and her mouth opened with shock. I normally get surprised reactions but not to this level. She said I should have accepted, I said "I know".

I only tell this story to stop being patronised and hearing the same shit. The 'stop smoking' line.

The fact is I have quit .. TWICE!!

Up until the DWP came along and fecked with everything I had not smoked for three years.

Up until the DWP pulled the rug from under me.

I then found out about my daughter's domestic violence which is a historical court case with the perpetrator locked up, though still phoning my daughter and her mother up to 165 times a night.

I then found out one of my grandchildren was autistic, which made a lot of sense.

I was at starting to realise my daughter already had my disability. Quite a few symptoms I had plus I was noticing some I didn't.

There were some female specific issues that I just assumed must be parts of Fibromyalgia that I just hadn't read about. But no.

I had already started smoking at this point .. now it must be stressed that I not only have no confidence whatsoever is ANY public service or their governing bodies and watchdogs, or the courts for that matter, but I knew they lied.

I knew that this lying would ultimately lead to consequences later on. So did nurses as well as pharmacists I had spoken to. So did two GPs.

At least you can tell with a small percentage of petite that they became Doctors and Specialists to actually help people and not for the salary.

As she was telling her GP of her Fibromyalgia this then explained several things the GP had been wondering about. But then there were those other things ..

These have appeared to several, yup now several due to a clinical meeting, General Practitioners and Specialists to look like something else .. something not good.

Then there was something else .. then there was something else in a follow up appointment.

Battery of tests, return to GP and then there was something else.

Leaving aside the Fibromyalgia confirmation we have had no less than FOUR extra things all of which don't look good at all.

So what I was going to state earlier in the post is that I was worried about a later appointment I'm not even present at.

In fact as in typing this out this other appointment should be with done or about half way through.

It's a full body MRI and at a cost between £3,000 to £5,000 when I last looked .. they simply don't perform these unless they are worried. Very .. worried.

I know because I've asked for one for over ten years, see the problem here? I almost nearly had one performed privately. That's how I know the minimum cost. It was somewhere in the vicinity of Canary Wharf?

So yeah .. stop smoking? Your joking right?

This would be an unreasonable expectation anyway with everything that is, or indeed is not, going on. Throw in the cursed anxiety and you might as well kill me right now.

In fact I stated recently that things have been bad at times where I just wished I would die and it was all over with.

This is not once or twice and it's not even in the single figure ball-park.

It's well into double figures and wouldn't be too surprised if it was into three figures.

After awhile you just want to to end.

There's a list of things which invariably are behind this and any one can have you wishing to God that someone would just switch off the proverbial lights!

The anxiety is one and the others are a number of pains in different parts of my body.

And I'm only talking about mine!

Now I have to think about what's its like for someone else who has serious complications thrown into that mix.

Then the fact that there is no one to rely on one hundred percent. Even the one that is around is now not trusted by the council of all people. So relying on them won't go down well with the council of anything happens!

That's because of four children on the endangered, I think it's called, register. Two of which are autistic which can be OK at times, good sometimes, bad at others and a trip into hell but with embarrassment sometimes thrown in at others.

My mind .. boggles. When it had the chance and gets the time to .. well, boggle.

It's been .. boggling for weeks. It boggles more and more all the time and I'm sure it's a few weeks from leveling out?

So I sit here awaiting someone's return and I have more tests at Arrow Park Hospital the day after Boxing Day.

An Echocardiogram followed by a 24 hour .. umm Echocardiogram. Wait let me check? Yup.

Oh that's .. weird. She said Arrow Park but it seems that it's the same hospital?

Ahh .. unless there is another one to come through the post?

Yeah .. memory problems .. simply can't recall everything .. often .. of I can recall anything at all.

My daughter has the exact same thing too.

Hmm ..

Well they have returned. Only I'm somewhat confused ..

No MRI was performed?!

The person who accompanied the patient said that all they did was sit there and talk about things. Things?

Of course as the the course of a usual day for us .. there was only minutes to spare before I was left with the two young girls again and other children had to be picked up from school.

At least my chest pains and heart palpitations were aggravated by children having meltdowns, fights, arguing, screaming for things.

Well .. the second time they went out one screamed for something. Until I said I'd give it to her if she was quiet. But then I knew it would be mere seconds be the other one spotted the youngest one with a biscuit and a slice of bread and started.

Then it went back to being quiet. Thankfully. The only other thing is having to put up with mind melting children's videos with have had to endure over and over again.

Well .. this time and desire their previous negative responses and shouts of "NO?!" I have managed to put on two or three things in the last few days they were then glued to.

Right now it's Oscar's Oasis which can be found on Netflix.

Finding something that one autistic child likes outside of their 'norm' or comfort zone is hard enough. Finding one that pleases two is a nightmare.

Oh then there is needy-boy who only ever wants to watch Spider-Man or someone playing a Lego game that he then thinks he is playing. Pressing his knees like they are buttons. He becomes transfixed and you can tell his name and he wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Say a sentence was a particular food word in it and somehow they all hear that?! Has to be particular foods though ..

Pizza, chips, biscuits, yoghurt, chocolate, drink, milkshake and crisps are all key-words they react to. Oh the youngest loves bread. Oh and toast and cereal is another one.

Oddly the older of the autistic children seems to go against everything you offer her. Offer one flavour of crisps and she shouts "no" and demands a particular colour packet. Most of the time though she then brings you the uneaten packet, hands then you you and says "Don't like it!"

Point at a cereal and she demands a different one and the same thing as the crisps can take place with "Don't like it!"

The wastage of food is indescribable. Seems almost criminal to me with the cost of food today and people .. well some people, not self inflicted, going starving.

Speaking of self-inflicted?

One couple had one half of them convinced they were getting two payments before Christmas of Universal Credit.

One 4 year old and one on the way.

Turns out they haven't and despite being warned by others the one convinced had a little bit of a spend.

Now things look .. precarious.

Now I have to wait to find out what in the world happened today?

I ended up in terrible pain just prior to them leaving to go to the hospital.

I looked after the two girls and they wanted to cancel the appointment because of this but I said "NO! Your going!"

Oops .. seems Oscar didn't last and I've had to resort to watching Peppa Pig fit the hundredth time!

The other children's program they like is called Gon, seemingly about a young Dinosaur or Lizard.

THE SECRET & SLOW SUICIDE PILL

Diclofenac? DICLIFENAC?!

Well this is one hell if a mind job for me this truly is!

This is one of the drugs that I have thought for some years now that it's one of those cheap crap drugs they give you that do not work!

Why do I think this?

Well because I was on this years ago and it did bugger all and I was also on accelofenac too which also did nothing!

Now I could write a decent list of drugs I have been given over 12 years plus that do not work on pain.

I could also do the same for drugs for my stomach problem which left me acquiring oesophagitis years later...

...ooh?! That is WHY they switched the dates on my medical records?! Of course not providing the right drugs directly led to another condition!

Anyway I digress.

So after more than ten years they have now performed one neurological test that does not test for everything but then lied and said neurological problems were ruled out. But at same time and not linked to other specialists or departments I was under a Pain Specialist prescribed a Neurological Drug called Gabapentin that works. When I ask why as they insist I have no neurological problem they tell nd it's not for neurological problems, gabapentin that is, it is simply a pain killer.

Tonight I find out that one of the shitty crappy drugs they kept giving me years ago was actually doing....something! Increasing the risk of a heart attack?! I have now had two members of my family, maybe a third  that died due to heart problems and since my father died my family started writing about me and my heart?!

Well other than a selfish grandfather that seems to be going on to live forever, funny how it always works like that lol, I am the oldest in this branch of my family!

I wonder if any of them will read or hear about it and ask me as I've been prescribed lots of NSAIDs over the years!

This drug has been knocking around fire donkeys years!! God it must have been ten years back I was prescribed it?!

So how the hell are they only finding out about it now and how many people have died because of it?!

Before above wonders the answer is no the family members I know to have died sure to heart problems never took pills ever, lol. One did not even have a Doctor!

Of course I imagine that many people who have lost someone close to them is now going to wonder of they took this drug?! In the case of a spouse this would be probably known but if a parent our adult child out could be more difficult to found out if they lived alone.

Time will tell if there it's anything more to this or not? Let us hope out was only an increased risk and never came to anything?!

Only with the amount of time this drug had been around and how easily and quickly it is given out I very much doubt it!

Just remembered that I think my old cycling buddy was prescribed this for his bad back! I wonder how his nurse of a sister is now trying to explain this away as she did to him over my health and ailments that were ALWAYS?!

LMAO
