Sorry for the long absents. I have been busy at work. I have increased magnesium to 800 a day a couple weeks ago with no side affects. (Should have mentiond that). After reading what you had responded with at the beginning I increases my vitamin d to 25000 per day. After about 3 days I went into remission I believe. Not sure if it was natural cycle or the increase. Regardless the vitamin d regimen greatly helped lower my pain levels this time. Only wished I would have tried it several years ago. Thank everyome here for there help, knowledge, and resources.
