HI MCW,
I started in May 2011 with NB. I always had 2 for my potssium not once was I ever put on any form of potassium. I was once I start with TEI in Feb (2013) and I was not at a 1 and within 4 months I am at 20 on my hair analysis. I was taking 99 mg 2x's aday most days.
I also had that pain down my arm...Dr's thought it was a pinch nerve or damage from a car accident..turned out I was to high is calcium. What I understand the calcium was pulling from the bones at this point.
How much magnsium are you on? Magnsium helps with low blood Sugar I learned from RIck. That is another thing I learn ARl does not use enough magnesium. I use magnsium spray 3 x's aday (does not effect my bowels) plus at bed time I take between 200-400 mg of magnesium tablet.
