I was getting those symptoms from too much magnesium. You could try Nenah's suggestions about balancing the calcium and magnesium, or it could be from needing potassium someone posted.

I have potassium pills (100mg, not too useful), potassium salt (salt substitute from the grocery store by Morton), and E-mergenC which is one gram of C with 200 mg potassium, and with some other electrolytes.

Sauna use requires supplementing with mineral salts to prevent depletion from sweating, and sauna sites might have some good info on it.

If you are sure it is a magnesium deficiency, there are several kinds, and the old wisdom was that chelated minerals are much more absorbable. Also I have heard that the orotate form is supposed to be very absorbable.

Good luck, hope it improves.   Kathryn

what is the best magnesium form for tendon spasms and leg cramps? I get them when waking or stretching in my sleep and ocassionally in my thumbs and toes due to chronic lyme. I have taken many magnesium supplements to no avail.
