Magnesium Deficiency

Over the years, I've found that magnesium is an essential mineral. I have several conditions which can be related to a magnesium deficiency. These include TMJ syndrome (problems with jaw clicking, pain and locking), mitral valve prolapse, muscle cramps, muscle twitching, fibromyalgia-like symptoms, chemical sensitivities and anxiety. There are other conditions that are also related to magnesium deficiency, including diabetes, asthma, migraines, seizures, allergies, attention deficit disorder, etc. A doctor I went to about 6 or 7 years ago told me she was discovering how magnesium was helpful for asthma patients. My current doctor has me on a high dose of magnesium as she feels I'm very deficient. Magnesium also helps with insomnia and constipation. For more information on magnesium and magnesium deficiency, check out the websites below.
