Magnesium deficiency symptoms are numerous and include chronic pain, migranes, tremors, high blood pressure, fatigue, memory issues. Magnesium deficiency is often misdiagnosed because it does not show up in blood tests. Only 1% of the body’s magnesium is stored in the blood and .3% in serum. A RBC (red blood cell) magnesium is better than a serum magnesium test.
New research shows that one of the first signs of magnesium deficiency is that it enables the over production of substance P which is a neurotransmitter related to the sensation of pain. When Substance P is reduced, so is the pain. Besides magnesium, capsaicin has been shown to reduce the levels of substance P as well.
Hi again.
Have you been tested for Borrelia and Pathogenic Mycoplasma infection?
(If not contact an LLMD and get tests done by a qualified reference lab like IGENEX).
Your intermittent Hypertension is the only symptom not consistent with these types of infections.
One possibility is that as you are suffering from chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, tremors and experiencing memory issues, the frustration and stress and anxiety may cause this erratic hypertension.
You should explore this possibility and seek ways to distress.
What is of greater concern is the "Pulse Pressure" should it remain high,
even when your systolic and diastolic pressures are lower.
There are a few causes for high P/P. Iron deficiency, Hyperthyroidism,
Heart valve dysfunction and Stiffness of the Aorta artery.
Just do a search, if not familiar with this.
You can print a Pulse Pressure Chart and monitor you P/P multiple times daily so you can establish a pattern over time.
Another area of great concern would be the adverse chemical interactions of the different meds you are on.
"Statistically, if you take six different drugs, you have an 80 percent chance of at least one drug-drug interaction," according to Wayne K. Anderson, Dean, State University of New York School of Pharmacy.
You are very young, your son needs his mom, preferably a healthy mom,
so my recommendation is to do whatever it takes to rise above your pain and suffering and seek true healing.
If your focus is continuously on your symptoms and their management, trust me, the medical system is NOT going to offer a cure for you!
I might say -with reservation- that the medical system has contributed to your issues greatly.
Easier said than done (To rise above the pain and suffering), and I know what it is, as I have gone through this in my life. But it is very doable!
Seek a good Hypnotherapist for: Pain Management, Stress and Anxiety
reduction, Safe and positive medication effects instillation, sleep quality improvement, memory improvement and to learn self-hypnosis so you can practice DAILY. It will bring fast and efficient results. I suggest you book
a minimum of 5 sessions with a good Hypnotherapist in your area ASAP.
This will help you kick off the start of your recovery.
If you are from the Conventional or Skeptical camp, just keep an open mind. Think about one thing. What results are you getting from your conventional doctors, tests and meds so far?
You are suffering from a multi- systemic undiagnosed infectious pathogenic condition. There may be also other dysfunctions and deficiencies as secondary co-factors.
Look into immed.org, Dr.Garth is the expert in this field-do a search in the forum's search tool as he's a Medhelp Expert Contributor.
Also search ILADS for info on Lyme disease, Babesia, Erlichia, Bartonella and other lyme associated diseases.
Let me know if you need more info. (sorry if I sounded a little critical or harsh,I do mean good though!)
Wishing you well,
Niko
