Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried magnesium but like you said bad for the D. I then tried taking it in liquid form with calcium and it didn’t give the D as much. I quite using any because I was afraid it would make this loose feeling with my muscles worse.

I can’t talk to my doctor about much. Having have a physical problem like the ear disease they just want to use it as a catch all for everything else. I am signed up with new insurance the coming new year. I won’t have to have a referral so maybe I can go to some other doctor who will listen.

I read others stories and surprised how some people are able to get tested. I’ve had tests here and there but it has taken years.
I will look at the magnesium video. The migraines are much less now in my older years and since I went through the change this year. But think some of the tightness and other problems is a migraine equivalent.

I would like to get a blood test for sticky blood haven’t had that checked either. I have all the symptoms of sticky blood but have not had a clot or stroke thank goodness. Would be nice if the doctor would look at all the symptoms connected with sticky blood and mine. I get so tired of them saying if I had this I would have all the most serious symptoms like a clot or stroke. Maybe they are right.

I eat low sodium for the most part. I have worried it would cause my ear problem to be worse. Causing fluid in the ear.

Sorry about the post and not breaking it up. It is hard to read that way. A lot of times if I see one like mine I won’t even try to read them. I should have been more considerate.
