Is it definitely restless leg syndrome proper? Because I'm pretty sure the magnesium I started taking as a sleep aid also helps me avoid the foot and leg cramps that plague my family at night. (I still get some, but not terrible)

Yah. I have issues with magnesium absorption now, so I supplement quite a bit. I can always tell when I'm low because the restless leg symptoms start. Cramps can be either that or dehydration (or both) for me. Fun times!

Oooh, we're talking about supplements now!

B.org has aged into supplements and kaftans.

I have started taking Centrum Silver because it's got all the stuff I need (magnesium, potassium, possibly weapons-grade plutonium) to lower blood pressure.

Anybody have an opinion on gut health and supplements to support your gut biome?

I just watched an entire infomercial so apparently I'm curious.

I eat a lot of yogurt...it's helped with the reflux. Have considered other things, but haven't made up my mind...it might be harder on me if certain systems worked more often, is all.

I think I also take Centrum Silver, but I'm not going to get up and go look to confirm. I do remember being overwhelmed with choices for daily vitamins and reading the label for that one and thinking it seemed right enough. Getting my blood pressure checked tomorrow (after taking the prescribed BP meds for over a week, so feeling pretty good about that) and maybe also COVID and flu vax? I already got a flu shot, would getting a second one be bad? It's a drive through flu shot that also supposedly has COVID so my idea of how it will all work is probably quite wrong.

On a separate note, I could also use Hivemind help on a cheap, pre-paid plan phone for the girls.

They don't have anything now and it's hard to function in the City without one, much less stay in touch with people.

So I'm for something that can download useful apps like NextBus and send texts and take pictures.

Somebody said Cricket. But I don't know anything about phones and plans except how to pay my bill on our iPhones.

we use some kind of gummy for women. as a supplement, not a phone plan.--eta.

I use Puretalk which is AT&T based. It works, but it's not fancy and can require some phone configuration. My wife has Mint Mobile which, again, not fancy but it works and is based on T-mobile (and owned by T-mobile now I think). Both have worked fine and are pretty inexpensive. No phone configuration with Mint so far.

I feel bad I've been away for so long. Just a lot going on with work and some health (not anything too serious) issues.

It took HOURS to find the three supplements I needed from actual reputable third-party tested sources. Huge pain in the ass.

Always good to see your pixels, Gud
