Re: Magnesium Citrate

[Guest guest]

Well - I did get the stuff choked down and actually it wasn't as bad

as I would've thought. I guess when you dread something as bad as I

was that, it can't be as bad! Sure am ready to have this myomectomy

over with today - hope its the same way - easier than I thought!

Thanks

What's it for?

Is this a usual pre-med for myomectomy?

I don't know if its normal for myomectomy, but its a potent laxative -

cleans you out pretty good.
