T3, I agree with Bejeeber. A 4:1 ratio of Mag to Cal should help quite a bit. Just remember to drink lots of water. Electrolyte imbalance not only refers to the balance between water soluble minerals in the body but also to those minerals and water content (hydration). What would normally be considered nominal dehydration in a normal person (someone who doesnt take mineral supplements), is easily compounded in someone who takes mineral supplements. So my advice (which is far from actual medical advice) is to maintain your current usage or adjust to attain that optimum 4:1 ratio, and pound lots of water. Hope this helpe T3

Just speaking from my experience as a former EMT, it could be the Magnesium and calcium. These minerals are electrolytes. Calcium levels have a pretty strong correlation to muscle activity. Too much calcium can cause twitching (medically referred to as: myoclonic jerks) and sometimes cramps.

Thank you!

Does anyone here have any experience with dealing with CH's and tricare in the military? I am trying to figure out what to do next. I have Imitrex and Prednisone, it doesnt help in the least. I have been taking the Pred for 5 days now and all it has done is push my hits alter into my sleep cycle (or lack thereof now). The imitrex doesnt do anything except make me feel like I'm going to puke during a hit. The Docs seem unwilling to prescribe O2 or anything else. Does anyone know how to route around the Army for second opinions, outlying civilian docs, etc etc etc? Thanks much! -Jon
