Only just spotted this @Rachox whatever you do don’t go overboard on the magnesium citrate one of those first thing in a.m. helps me stay regular!
For the cramps I take different magnesium at night both of which help with sleep I take 2 magnesium bisglycinate and 2 magnesium threonate current brands from amazon bulk.com for the bisglycinate and peak supplements for the threonate. Message if need more help.pauline cox did an excellent podcast on dan Greef’s series I’d recommend too. I could search or you could search where you listen to podcasts I listen on Spotify and they are on apple podcasts.sorry for delay and thinking of you x
Meanwhile check out the Pauline cox podcast she’s excellent I’ve edited previous reply to add a linkI have some mag citrate on order but I’m going to start with one as I’m aware of the laxative effect it can have, but it may prove useful in that area too!

Hiya @Rachox i relistened to the episode last night to check memory right and it is a really excellent one about magnesium and different types benefits etc you just need to have patience as Dan chats a fair bit especially in beginning but bear with it she gets to Magnesium after a few supplements in and will help you to understand differences between magnesium types and why we especially need bisglycinate.Ah thanks I did wonder where to start looking!
Did your friend arrive and did you have your sushi?I thought that my psyche already calmly perceives any information, but I'm very anxious right now, so if you don't mind, I'll just speak out here. My friend was supposed to arrive an hour ago, but I can't get through to her and my brain is completing the worst-case scenarios. In general, it's normal that there is no connection outside the city and most likely she just got into a traffic jam, but I can't stop thinking that she is driving through the border zone, which is sometimes subjected to shelling, alone with an unknown driver. I can't find a place for myself at all...
My friend arrived when it was already very late, but everything is fine with her. I told her we'd order sushi later, but she decided to buy me some goodies anyway because she believes that for the fact that she will live in my flat for a few days it is necessary to pay with something. The convenience store is far enough from my house and I told her to take a taxi, but she decided to walk (the area here is not completely safe), and since I was scared for her, I took my shocker and went to meet her. As a result, we did not eat sushi, but drank tea with cookies under my indignation that she does not think about her safety at all.After all I presented her my brass knuckles in the form of a cat and calmed down. I'm such an alarmist!Did your friend arrive and did you have your sushi?
My friend said that I with a glowing brass knuckles in my hands in the middle of the night (I have a shocker in the form of brass knuckles and with a built-in flashlight, which I shone) - this is the scariest thing that happened on her tripMy friend arrived when it was already very late, but everything is fine with her.

I have been on fluid restrictions for the pst 18 momths, I am allowed 1.5 litres of fluids a day. This includes gravy, jelly, fruit and no salt or salty foods etc. I had a selction of no fuid / salt / reduced salt alternative recipes / foodstuffs to choose from supplied
When I waas admitted to hospital I was around the 120 Kgs + mark, with Afib, shortness of breath, pains in the chest. Included was bloated legs from bad circulation. They put a catheter into my bladder (pulled out on discharge day) and filled me full of Forosemide to either by injection ofr dripped in to get me urinating which had slowed to a trickle.
When I was discharged after nearly six weeks I weighed around 85Kgs, I was still taking Furosemide till the end of last year till I got a bladder infection that made urinating a problem, when I was told to stopmy the Nurse Navgator, so my palliative GP gave me antibioticsand Spitactin 100 twice a day to help the beat the infection.
To cut a long story short, I have finally got rid of the excess fuids in both legs, and the cronic wound in my right leg has shown signs of inprovement.
Urine output in litres since discharge on the 24th July.
July 2020 - 405.8
January 2021 - 447.3
July 2021 - 359.5
January 2022 - 232.2
I now weigh 65.0 Kgs (steady on this mark for the past week) so have dropped half my former bodt weight that I got upto. I have lost a fair bit of weight due to the bowel cancer as well.
I have not always followed the food instructions as I will eat what I want to now, but have kept my drinking in check two mugs of coffee in the morning first up, 2 x 600 mil of bottled water, and I have cut beer out, and just a malt whisky at nights During summer I increaed water intake to 2 litres a day, but have been on 1.5 for while again.
I use a mouth spray called Biotene Moisturizing Spray 50ml on the recommendations of my Nurse Navigator to stop feeling thirsty / dry mouth / tongue / lips at night. Highly recommend this stuff a couple of squits and it;s nearly a bottle of water drunk instead.
It's available from Amazon UK with free Prime delivery.

When you are doing a perish with a dry mouth, tongue, lips, and thirsty for any moisture you will use anything to fix the problem. No time to get fussy all of a sudden when you are trying to get rid of excessive fluid out of your body.That looked like such a good idea for both my brother and myself but, checking the ingredients shows saccharin so, sadly, it's no-go for me. I'll send the link to my brother though - he may be able to use it.
@PenguinMum I wondered if this spray might be useful before your next fasting test if it’s mid afternoon again?
The same thing happened with my son @Annb . He wasn't in tge medically induced coma as long as your brother but he had a similar tale. He was aware we were there but he found himself in strange settings and no one could hear him His "moment" was when he was aware of sitting alone in what he felt was a large warehouse. There was large open doors where sun was coming through but, he said that he knew he didn't want to go through these doors. He said he got up and left That was when he came out of the coma the first time. They had to put him under again after a day as he was hallucinating. He kept asking why black men were dancing at the bottom of his bed (turned out the shaded window to the nurses station and he was seeing the shadows of the nurses moving about). What we couldn't account for was why he thought we were Nirth Korean spys and that the doctors and nurses were trying to poison him! Once they brought him out slowly with the help of a drug he was fine! He did say it was all very scary though.Since I had been telling you all about my brother and his surgery, I thought I would give what should be a final update: he has cast aside the zimmer frame and then the walking stick he was given and can climb the stairs without using the handrail now. Yesterday he got up and made the breakfast porridge and cleaned down the work surfaces in the kitchen. I guess he's back to normal.
However, he did say that while he was sedated and it was thought that he was unaware, he was hallucinating much of the time while actually being aware of things happening around him and being done to him - his brain was just interpreting events in its own way so it was a kind of living hell for those 6 weeks. He says he would rather he was just allowed to die than go through that again and has told his wife that if he is ever in that position again, she is to make sure he is not resuscitated but just let go. I had a suspicion it was being that bad for him and was worried for his mental state as a result. However, it's all over and he is almost back to his old self and I am so thankful.
