Fibromyalgia: Education and Research

Part of my holistic/multi-faceted treatment plan for Fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions includes taking magnesium citrate supplements. They help with pain levels, but I didn't know the full extent the impact of a magnesium deficiency could have.

An article I recently read talked about the significance of magnesium in our bodies. The article stated (the items in read are symptoms or issues I have): Dr. Dean has studied and written about magnesium for more than 15 years. The latest addition of her book, The Magnesium Miracle, came out in 2014 and in it you can learn about 22 medical areas that magnesium deficiency triggers or causes, all of which have all been scientifically proven. This includes:⁴

Anxiety and panic attacks	Asthma	Blood clots
Bowel diseases	Cystitis	Depression
Detoxification	Diabetes	Fatigue
Heart disease	Hypertension	Hypoglycemia
Insomnia	Kidney disease	Liver disease
Migraine	Musculoskeletal conditions (fibromyalgia, cramps, chronic back pain, etc.)	Nerve problems
Obstetrics and gynecology (PMS, infertility, and preeclampsia)	Osteoporosis	Raynaud’s syndrome
Tooth decay

Early signs of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, headache, nausea, fatigue, and weakness. An ongoing magnesium deficiency can lead to more serious symptoms, including:

Numbness and tingling	Muscle contractions and cramps	Seizures
Personality changes	Abnormal heart rhythms	Coronary spasms
