Why can't I sleep?!?

Thanks, Hala... I picked up some Mag Oxide from Vitamin Shoppe (200 400mg capsules for $9.99 on sale).  Hope this helps... I have some periods of time when all is well, but some when all is SO NOT WELL.  Hoping this regulates me a lil better...

Does the magnesium effect the absorption of iron?  I usually take my iron and vit c, literally as I'm getting into bed.  I take one magnesium (don't remember the mg) in the morning with the probiotic, omega 3, multi, b-12, calcium and breakfast.  Another calcium goes with lunch then after dinner, I take my other multi, calcium and the other magnesium. 

Am I getting the most out of me supps? 

not sure..
I only found one surce that says that it does decrease iron absorbtion'

I wish I can tell you why.  I see this happen to many RNYer post-ops.  I really think a study could be done to try to determine why so many of us deal with this.

I take Temazepam several nights a week so I can sleep.

I feel the same way! I talked with my pcp and he said to just take some benedryl if I couldn't sleep. I've done that but I feel like crap.

But!! Friday I joined a gym with a pool. I haven't had trouble sleeping since. Swimming always makes me sleepy anyway. So far so good!

Yeah, I cannot figure it out. I stopped doing the night time protein shake a couple days ago, and last night I got the restless muscles thing while I was lying in my daughter's bed reading her bedtime stories. And I hadn't taken my B12 yet either.

The last thing I had eaten was some ricotta cheese about 2 hours earlier. It's so frustrating! And the fact that it didn't start happening until 6 days ago is what makes it so curious. Why all of a sudden? It makes me think there is a deficiency issue that has developed.

Time to call the NUT, methinks.
