Comment:
I have RLS, and at night. I cannot sleep too long because of it. I took a 500mg mag pill, and that night, no RLS. Is this an effective way to control my RLS? DMC

Comment:
I am a care giver. My mother suggested magnesium to my husband when he had on-going muscle cramps in his leg. Within a week, he had no more cramps; and has had only rare times of any onset of cramping. My brother-in-law and also a male friend complained of cramps (back and calves). They also began taking magnesium and happy to report they have no more cramping after a week on 250 mg a day.

Comment:
Had a headache for 2 yrs straight. Entered hospital to break it. Was treated with IV magnesium. Am taking 250 mg/day now; am still having some headaches but not every day all day. Am considering taking 500 mg/day until it gets in my system a little more.
