Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hey all, Joe picked up some Calcium magnesium with zinc today at drugstore Took 3 pills ( thats what it recommends ) and I will be danged if his neuropathy didnt hurt hardly at all today!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 wow, I had mentioned that I was taking Natural Calm to sleep...it is 100% magnesium and started taking it a week or so before chemo. Other than a couple of tingles in a couple of fingers, I didn't have any issues - though I have only had the one treatment, the nurse warned me against touching or drinking anything with ice. I had a chilled water today and now am having a diet coke with ice - not to " test " the symptoms, I forgot and, when I read your email I woke up and said oh my god, this has ice in and no impact...... deb vamdembos debbied31@...> wrote:Hey all, Joe picked up some Calcium magnesium with zinc today at drugstore Took 3 pills ( thats what it recommends ) and I will be danged if his neuropathy didnt hurt hardly at all today!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 the further away from your treatment, the colder the stuff can be. that sensitivity should only be 2--3 days for the cold drinking stuff.
