Thanks .  Bob and Carol made the Mag suggestion.  Been on Slo-Mag for

about 6 months for irregular heart rythms.  The heart is regular now, but I

did cut back because of the loose stools.  Can't win! I'll try the soaks too and

see if that helps.  Thanks for the suggestion.  The best to you and yours,

Dolores & Mike

More magnesium was going to be my suggestion too. Too much, too soon, will give

you

loose stools. And, it has to be taken away from the antibiotics.

Another way to get more Mg in your body is to soak in epsom salts. You can sit

with your

feet in a warm bath of epsom salts or put them in your tub water.

Very relaxing.

Dolores,

A compoundin pharmacist can make mag for you in cream form. That's how I

take mine. Orally it went straight thru me.

Cooky,

I found a compounding pharmacy here in Houston, so if I need something

compounded they will do that with the magnesium?

A compounding pharmacy can make magnesium in cream form?  This, I am interested

in.  Do I need a prescription?  If so, I can get one from my doc.  How much does

it cost?  How much is in the jar? How much do I rub on when I am sreaming in

pain from the cramping.  It only happens at night or when I'm walking on a cold

floor without shoes.  Tell me more!  The magnesium gets absorbed thru the feet

and legs without going through the system, thereby avoiding the accompanying

diarrhea.  Yes, this would be for me.  So far. this is the only symptom that I

have or rather it has me.  If I can fix this with magnesium, I would be a happy

camper.  Thank you.  Send me the details of what I can do to get it please, The

best to you, Dolores

Hi Cooky. Wow, this is good news for me.  I've had this cramping that stops and

starts again for over a year.  It usually stops by putting on some warm booties

and wrapping a heating pad around it.  I take magnesium for irregular heart

rythms and now my rythm is great.  But, I don't want to increase the mag orally

as I have a tendency towards diarrhea...  So, this is great news to me.  Someone

once told me that it may also be dehydration.  I will have to increase my fluid

intake.  I will also try the epsom salt soaks on the fett and legs.  Will keep

you all informed as to how this will work.  Glad for all the advise.  The best

to all of you,   Dolores

I did not need a script but maybe because I know her. Here is the phone # of

my compounding pharmacist. She will send the med to you. If you do need a

script she will even call your doc for you. Tell her you got the # from me.

I am not getting a kick back, I only want her to know who recommended her

pharmacy

Marenstein she owns The Murry Avenue Apothecary

Thank you, Will call her in the a.m. and tell her that you recommended her. 

What state is that number in?  I moved from New York to Corpus Christi, TX in

April and still don't feel like I know my way around.  That happens when you've

been in one place for 12 years and then move.  Thanks again~~~Dolores

OK - I am not going to write any more because everyone has already said

what I was going to say. LOL.

I need to read all the email before I write!

Anyway, I would add that loose stools are greater when the magnesium is

not getting absorbed. Certain forms will push everything through. I

have heard others who like the mag cream because it won't cause a loose

stool problem - so I can't see any problem with the cream form.

However, I stick with my tried & true dry mag citrate.
