Dear Doc Greg,
Thanks so much for answering so quickly. I do take citracel and milk of magnesia, but even that sometimes takes 4 days to work. My problem is, I have twisted intestines, and much more than the normal amount of intestines.
I also have heart spasms and fibromyalgia, which the doctors feel comes from the fibro, as all tests show nothing wrong with my heart. I do have high blood pressure. I hardly take any pain pills, just once in awhile, Ultram for my joint pains. My doctor will not give me anything that would cause heart problems, as no one is really sure why I get palpitations and pain.
I will speak to my doctor about lithium, and I do have magcitrate, so will probably take it. I sort of steer clear of that, as it cramps me up badly. I guess I am just a mess, but it is so important that I feel as well as possible, to take care of my husband. These headaches make me want to shoot myself. I've had 3 children by natural childbirth, and I'd rather have ten more, than 1 more headache. I am devastated that they have returned after none for 3 years. Again, thanks so much for your suggestions - I will definitely speak to my doctor about them.
Blessings to you and all the Clusterheads
Arlene
