Out Came the Sun and Dried...
I am coming off a period of feeling old and poorly as reflected in these musings. Could it be as simple as a Magnesium supplement pill? I had eaten 3 pounds of Cherries since Wednesday-usually calculated to produce the screaming meemies but ...nothing. Bloated, yes, feeling tired, leg cramps at night, weakness, droopy blurry vision. My diuretic did not seem to be having any effect. I began to wonder if something were missing so I went to my considerable cache of supplements and decided Minerals were first. Within an hour I was picking up. I Googled Magnesium Deficiency and there I was on page after page-even the Federal National Institute of Health page. If you take a diuretic, they know to replace Potassium, which I do, but not the others minerals. They get flushed away too. So I have been hitting loading doses of Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, and Calcium plus the one a day elements. I have remained awake all day. Attitude is about 100 percent better. The first thing to go when I fade is the memory so today I make a chart. I really do get angry with myself when the means to feel better is at hand and I do not avail myself. Makes me out to be a whiny, hypochondriacal old poop. Interestingly, my recent cravings-Spinach and chocolate are associated with magnesium deficiency. But when you look at the R.D.A. and what you have to eat to get it-nobody can do that. Reference Link to Magnesium below: (you will have to copy and paste in your browser- I don't know why)
