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.

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
