Experiencing Strange Jumping In Legs, Doctor Suggested To Take Citrate Of Magnesium. Reason?
Hello and thank you very much. I am experiencing some strange jumping in my legs. It usually occurs at night while I am sleeping. I am very concerned, because I do not know what it is, I have visited my doctor and posed this question to her and she suggested that I get some citrate of magnesium. I would like to know what this is and what if anything that I can do to stop it, it seems like it is traveling upward. I would appreciate any suggestions/comments that you may have. I am almost at the point of missing out on some of my sleep because of the fear of experiencing something traumatic. Thank you.
