Jan,

I did try GABA last night, but only 250 mg as I am sensitive & wanted to start

low. I didn't notice any improvement but are you saying that you can also take

it in the daytime & it won't make you sleepy? I had to back off the mag oil

because my skin (which is very very dry to begin with) became very irritated &

itchy & even drier from the constant applying & rinsing off the oil. My

naturopath said oral mag is ok to take, esp. if you can't comply with the

transdermal, it's better to take it orally than not at all. Thanks for your

suggestion.

> Another supplement you might want to try is GABA.It eases aniety and some

people use it for sleep .Up to 1500 mg three times a day can be taken.Its

completely natural and has helped me a lot oin the past.i will also echo the

transdermal magnesium oil to help calm the nerves and body down.Its usually my

first thing I reach for when many issues crop up.Unfortunately i didnt bring any

here on the trip Im on to Nh this week and Im over working it a lot because I

have to.I may go to a local natural foods place to see if they happen to carry

it.Ive onlt got 4 more days here but Im hurting  and it always helps. that and

boswellia helps my pain a lot of the time
