I came across this place on facebook and I have been reading through it a little at a time....so much information and so much to learn. I did the blood work and the hair analysis, got the results and had a consult with Morley Robbins. I can't say enough about how finding what minerals I am deficient in and supplementing has helped me. It won't hurt anyone to follow the link and read. I'm so thankful that I found it. Prayers for us all. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MagnesiumAdvocacy/

I have/had a terrible addiction to diet coke (I drink it from morning til I go to bed) and I have been off and on adhd meds for years...this last go round has been for about 6 years... I was on a downward spiral a few months ago...waking up, popping the vyvanse in my mouth, having energy for a couple of hours then I would just feel exhausted, fuzzy thinking, forgetful. I was completely miserable but yet could not wait to get up and pop that pill every morning. If I would not get my prescription from the doc in time and had to go the weekend without my vyvanse I was in a complete panic and rush to find a friend that had some that I could borrow. This adhd med had control of my entire life and I was terrified bc I knew that it was slowly killing me. At the end of last year I had some blood work and a hair analysis done then spoke to someone once the results came in. I also had to fill out paperwork stating the meds that I was currently on. During the consult I was made aware of how caffeine and adhd meds deplete magnesium, potassium, etc and take a toll on the adrenal glands. I decided to start supplementing as directed. In January I held my nose and jumped in...I had my last diet coke on Jan 18, 2016. On Jan. 28 I had my last vyvanse. Welcome to HELL!!! I crashed. slept. had anxiety attacks. bouts of sadness and depression. What I can say that I think helped me through so far is taking magnesium baths. I was told to start off slowly and did. 1 cup of plain epsom salt and 1/2 cup of baking soda mixed in a tub of warm-hot water. I was to soak for 20 minutes, twice a week. Every couple of weeks I added more epsom salt and baking soda to the point to where I am now taking a hot bath in 2 cups of epsom salt and one cup of baking soda..I do this now 2-3 times a week, I sleep well and it helps to take the edge off. THIS HELPS TO KEEP ME SANE!! ***My biggest and scariest issue as of now as I can NOT stop eating and I am gaining weight. Since stopping the two mentioned I have gained 10 lbs to an already fat body and I am depressed and worried. What can I expect? Does this need and desire to eat all day stop? Thanks for reading Prayers for all of us.
