CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

I listen to a radio program.....the chiropractor has a treatment he calls CalMax. It's a calcium/magnesium combination & he says that the magnesium is needed for the calcium to be absorbed into the body & this combination relaxes the body & helps with sleep. The liquid form is also absorbed into the body quicker than a pill that has to dissolve in the stomach & then make it's way into the blood stream. They have an offer over the radio for the first 30 days free to see if it works.....it's been on my list of things I want to get. It's also for leg & foot cramps which I get mostly during the summer I get when I get into bed.......it's so painful. I used to get cramps in my hands so bad that I couldn't even hold a pen to write with. Interesting as my pain specialist has lowered the level of pain medication I'm on very slowly over the last 6 months, the cramps in my hands has lessened. Before I would pick up things in the kitchen & my hands would cramp so bad I would end up dropping the things I was holding. This started to happen after my anorexia got bad the last time. It does happen more after I have not eaten for a few days so I know that it has something to do with the lack of those chemicals in my body.

The combination of the calcium & magnesium seems to be critical for sleep & for relieving muscle cramping so it's a proven fact, not just a ritual effect & also as I said, the liquid absorbs more quickly than taking a pill that has to dissolve first.

Another helpful supplement is B-12. My friend had the same problem sleeping & getting up with any energy in the morning if she did go to sleep & started taking the B-12...she now sleeps better & gets up early in the morning & has energy. The combination definitely helps & I really need to get a sleep pattern going....I had crashing in the afternoon because then I am not tired by the time it's time for bed. It really helps to get onto a schedule (I hate schedules) but they are important for our own wellness.
