I see that a few of you are on magnesium. I started taking magnesium citrate pills OTC and found that with my metabolism I was able to get off of the IV magnesium pretty quickly and maintain better levels with less magnesium. I started by taking 500mg and worked up to 1g, because magnesium can be rough on the digestive tract, but within about 3 weeks i was able to drop down from 4g per day IV to 1g oral.

Just a question to run by the docs next time you see them to see if this might be an option.
