@werehatrack@yakkoTDI the first one says free from laxative effects, and I thought that was one of the reasons people used the powders. Depends on your age and digestive situation of course. I use small amounts of the powder (not this brand) and I THINK it helps with both sleep and the other thing.
@pmarin It’s easy to get into the habit of using a magnesium supplement, and slide into having too much of it in your system, which can produce all sorts of interesting things like a full body rash that only itches a tiny little bit. If you’re keeping the dosage low enough to avoid that, good.
I was considering it—my doctor suggested I take magnesium daily for my migraines and I think it really has helped—but then I saw that a single dose is 3 pills. The only time I want to see that many pills is when I’m playing Dr Mario
@jakeline Try Migrelief. I’ve been taking it for over 20 years, on the advice of my neurologist. I believe it has helped with my cluster headaches, which are migraine’s angry thug big brothers. Two pills a day, morning and evening.
@jakeline@randoon I was going to suggest Migrelief too. Been on it over 20 yrs as well. It works! If you try it, make sure to give it time to get into your system - may take a few wks to see a difference.
My ex-father-in-law was a pharmacist. His take on the items in the supplements aisle: “The only effect that stuff has is to make your pee more expensive”
@hugacrv@werehatrack I once had a yellow florescent die injected so that an eye specialist could take photos of my retina. It would have been fun to have had a blacklight in the bathroom later in the day…
My doctor warned me that you should take magnesium separate from any other medication, herbs, or supplements because it can cause those to be less effective. Just FYI.
@lmmvirago A doctor friend’s advice about herbal supplements boiled down to one word, “don’t”. While there are instances where a specific one might be beneficial for a specific person, the overall majority of them often have more unwanted side effects than any benefit. Your mileage may vary.

really?
@alacrity I’ll star what I was expecting it to say.
My wife and I just watched the episode of Parks and Rec where Ben and Leslie dress up as Westley and Buttercup, respectively, for Halloween.
I almost thought this was spam before realizing the time (man I need to take a break from all this online)
Magic pixie dust for sale today.
@phendrick Or pocket sand, truly a versatile item.
Take too much, and have an excuse to stay home today! (It doesn’t take a whole lot of magnesium to induce lower GI hyperacceleration.)
@werehatrack Gives new meaning to the phrase “Having a BLAST!”

Ah yes. Time to visit the gastroenterologist for a regular colon blow.

@jakeline Can confirm - magnesium helped me with my migraines (although I still get them - just way less frequent).
I opt for a single pill though!

I think Meh is causing me to develop a magnesium complex.
@El_Oel Be careful where you store that magnesium, it’s flammable.
