My Grandmother, age 86 was hospitalized four days ago with muscle cramps, blood test showed low magnesuim, everything else within okay boundries, they have been giving her a 3 inch x 5 inch (not sure of liquid measurement) IV bag of Magnesuim sulfate. They will test her levels one hour after the IV drip is complete and her level is within normal scale... 12 hrs later, NO magnesuim will show up in her blood test. Where does all of this magnesium go to??? They have been repeating this proceedure for days now. All other health issues have been ruled out. Not Diabetic, has high blood pressure, but controlled with meds, other then that, VERY HEALTHY 86 year old. Eats logical diet, active, great weight.... had great stress test and echo test results today.. she is just making bags of magnesuim disappear.
