Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 Dear Weak Muscles (sorry, I don't know your name), I had that also. It felt like my legs were encased in cement and they ached so. My LLMD attributed some of it to a chronic magnesium deficiency and I was on IV MG 1000 mg three times a week for almost 1 year. (Along with IV AB's). My legs are much better now. I hope you get adequate treatment and feel better, too. Eileen, USA, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 Hi ALKA SELTZER (?!), Thanks for trying to make me feel better all the way from merry ol' England. I have heard from a # of Lyme friends who have experienced the non-responsive muscle thing...all say to increase Magnesium...so I went from 500mg a day to 1000. It seems to be helping the severe muscle twitching and some of the other muscle problems :-). I have experienced the lead-like legs before, but they always moved on command...until yesterday. I'm wondering if this is happening because I am now being treated for Babesia as well... As far as extended herxes go...who knows. I feel as if I have been herxing for the past month, which is a long time for me. It was nice hearing from you, and I hope you improve with further treatment. Thanks, Joan LI NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
