Rosie and Eileen, thank-you for the suggestions. I am still trying to add extra salt to my diet, but it is a little harder than it seems, you think, Rosie? And it's hard for me to imagine being low in magnesium, what with being on Fosomax (to improve bone density), extra 500 mg Calcium with D daily, and all the milk products I consume. Can you get your magnesium levels checked thru blood work?? Thanks again.
