Carmen - I have been using magnesium for about 3 months now. I take two 400mg tablets in the morning, and one each night. This is 3 times the daily allowance, but it seems to be helping me. My pain has lessened a lot since beginning the magnesium. The only drawback is that magnesium is also somewhat of a laxative, so if he uses it, he needs to be prepared to be close to a bathroom at all times. I'd much rather have that problem than the pain. It wouldn't hurt for him to try it, but it does take a few days to feel the lessening of the headache pain.
It has worked for me, but not for others. But there would be no harm in trying it. It is very inexpensive and can be purchased at the regular drug stores. I'm hoping for pain free days ahead for your fiance.
