730 it’s amazing how quickly fake news spreads
1230p Every time I hold the phone to my ear my arm and hand goes numb.
145 people keep asking me health questions as if I’m a doctor or something. No, I’m no expert but am more than willing to share what has helped me endure through the physical ailments and limitations.
Question:
- How much magnesium do I need to take to stop muscle cramping?
Answer: It varies from person to person. When I started taking magnesium for cramping, I had to take 1,000mg magnesium a day for a little while. I was able to decrease dosage and am taking 500mg daily now.
Other things that help with muscle cramps: stretching, massaging, apply ice or heat, & hydration (goal should be to drink half your weight in water daily).
Question:
- A friend is having significant trouble with constipation. What should he take?
Answer: Have he discussed this with his doctor? Yes. Doctor just suggested over the counter stool softener.
Things I use to help me have regular bowel movements:
Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is ideal, but when you are unable.
* Magnesium 500mg daily
* 1 heaping tbs diatomaceous earth (for me it works within couple hours. It has alot of health benefits too. www.diatomaceousearth.com
* Increase your fiber intake
* Vitamin C – daily intake should be around 500mg to 2,000mg (depends on your deficiency)
* Vitamin D3 – between 2,000 IUs – 4,000 IUs daily
* Vitamin B12 – dosage depends in individual. One of the Dr’s I saw suggested I take 2 mg daily.

0900 overslept. I guess I must have turned my alarm off without knowing I did. I’m hurting so much. Did way too much for my body to handle yday. It was such a blessed day serving others and hearing the Word preached.
Kind of makes me think that my traumatic event triggered a fibro reaction. But is that even possible? I’m going to save up money to go to a functional medicine Dr. At least there I’d get better answers hopefully than a regular Dr.
1000 need to work on inputing grades. Hard to believe that 3rd quarter is almost over. Only able to work on one child’s grades. Getting headache. It’s difficult for me focused let alone organized. Just takes longer ans and determintation. Brain needs a break.
Rae needs help with English & spelling test. Grading Jordon’s Math. I’m so thankful for Teaching Textbooks. I used to be good in math. I know how other moms feel now that have no idea how to do the higher math. Frustrating. I figure the knowledge has to be in my brain still but I have no clue how to retrieve it. It’s like having to relearn many things all over again.
Brings back memories of how when I was attending New Freedom and not understanding how to do Algebra 1. I studied so hard trying to figure it out but couldn’t. Mr Favor (sp) was so gracious because it was BJ curriculum which I had never used prior. I cried when I got my first failing grade. I was honor roll student. But happy was the day I finally understood and got the A+ I knew I should get.
Oh bother, I misplaced the test/quiz flashdrive. Need to print out some tests & quizzes. Lord help me find it.
0633 Plastic is a hormone killer. Microbiome.

0519 hands swollen and throbbing. Upper shoulders and neck hurts.
0730 slight bloody nose
0805 nose started bleeding just as I was to start playing invitational. Ugh! Asked God to have preacher pray long so I could pinch my nose long enough to stop bleeding. Feeling week and embarrassed. Thankfully he prayed long.
