Health Update

Just had the call I’ve been waiting for from the pharmacy about my blood test results for my magnesium and … good news, my levels are back in the top end of ‘Normal’ which means no more magnesium pills. For now at least.

I am so happy. The pharmacist explain that my magnesium was probably always low because of the stomach pills I was on for my ulcer. But once I stopped taking those as I no longer have the ulcer, the magnesium levels went back up. So it looks like my digestive system is slowly getting back to normal.

But, and there’s always a but, she advised we do another blood test in about a week, followed by another one after that in two weeks. Just to be on the safe side and to make sure my levels remain in the normal range without too much fluctuation.

Who knew magnesium was such an important mineral, but it is.

I have to say I have never been so cognisant of what I’m eating as I am these days.
