My son Enzo is 9 years old and just recently has started having migraines every other week. I am certain that a lack of magnesium may be the culprit and should be considered in his case. The following factors have led to my deduction: 1)     Night Terrors: Enzo is soon to be ten years old, and he has suffered from severe night terrors since he was ten months old. During the terrors his muscles tighten and become rigid. After years of tests and examinations, experimenting with homeopathic remedies, and sleep training methodologies, I determined when Enzo was five years old that lack of magnesium could be the cause. 2)     Magnesium Water: Enzo began a regime of drinking nothing but Smart or Propel water when he was five years old. Soon after introducing magnesium through water into Enzo s diet his night terrors drastically declined. Admittedly, I stopped introducing magnesium through water about four months ago. 3)     Migraines: Over the last month Enzo has started to experience migraines. Magnesium is a factor in reducing migraines. Once again Enzo is experiencing a side effect that is associated with low magnesium through this new onset of migraines. 4)     Tics: Enzo also has suffered from tics, specifically rapid and repetitive blinking, since he was about five years old. Tics are associated with low magnesium as well. 5)     Height: Enzo is significantly shorter than the rest of his classmates. Failure to thrive is also a symptom of low magnesium. 6)     Salt: There are other atypical issues that stand out in Enzo s routine. For example, Enzo s need to add salt to food or lick rocks or sand so he can taste the element s saltiness. This has been an ongoing issue with Enzo his entire life and the need do salt has been linked to identifying low magnesium. 7)     Seizure-Like Blasts: Although Enzo does NOT suffer from seizures; an EKG identified small blasts in Enzo s frontal lobe when he was five years old. Despite the small blasts not progressing as to register as an actual seizure, the blasts did appear each time a terror occurred. Seizures can also be associated with low magnesium. Based on the above listed atypical issues, I believe magnesium testing should be performed, as well as any other testing that can help to determine the cause of his deficiency or excessive need for magnesium in his system. I appreciate your guidance and help with this unceasing matter. Thank you.
