[Guest guest]

Allison,

I was just randomly searching supplements and came across the

symptoms of magnesuim deficiency. They sound so similar to the

problems you are having. I thought I'd let you know. The site is

HealthVitaminsGuide.com Hope this might be a clue in your search.

Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome can cause many of the symptoms you are experiencing

and you should seek treatment for that first from a GYN.

 

I would be taking a goodly amount of the stress vitamins:

<http://www.stressreductionbasics.com/anxietystressreliefvitaminsandminerals.htm\

l>

Tremendous, long lasting stress can wreck havoc with all of our glandular

systems, not just the Thyroid.

 

How are your blood sugars?

 

Has Fibromalagia been considered? Many of your symptoms point to this syndrome.

 

I think there is more than one thing going on here but this is a good place to

start. deb, CN
