its probably not poor circulation or stenosis it definitely could be
magnesium and or potassium deficiency. Not sure of your dosae of
Magnesium, but you should be taking 500-1000mg at night

I love your blog…I am getting unbearable thigh cramps at night that last half an hour and am wondering if it is circulation, low back stenois ( I am 63), spondylitheseis or from what I ate. The only things to help is MagPhos tissue salts but I think I take way too many 25-30 at a time with hot water. Can you make any suggestions? thanks

Fibromyalgia is often because of poor thyroid function. It sounds like you
should go back on Cytomel. That would be my suggestion

I had thyroid removed many years ago because of nodules resulting from radiation 35 years prior…I have been on T4 Levoxyl many years, and T3 cytomel was added but after a few months taken off of it because pulse was too high…Now I am cold at night and running a low temp in daytime…It is impossible to lose weight and have aches and pains and anxiety….stuck in sympathetic system…suggested I have fibromyalgia but I do not like meds and have decided not to take Cymbalta or Savella. I do energy work to bring my temperature back up to normal 98….How do you know if you really have fibromyalgia…all my symptoms are either hypothyroid or fibromyalgia.
I have read fibromyalgia means toxic liver…I get very ill everytime I try to do a detox…I read your book and would come to see you but not affordable at this time. I also have spondilitheisis and some stenois at L5…I am 60 years old and want to feel better as I have lots to do…any suggestions? I take a lot of magnesium for pain ,, cramps, constipation.

yes keep a food jouranl
also it may be related to a digestive problem, you may need probiotics and or anti microbial herbs. Best to work with a Functional Medicine Practitioner on this

Sleep apnea is a tough one because if you don't treat it, it can have deleterious effects. Havinng said that, my experience has been especially if people are overweight, changing ones diet, usually going on a gluten free, sugar free, dairy free diet and losing weight can be helpful
