Magnesium may help relieve AVM headaches!

Just went for more quarterly neurologist appointment. I've been having heavy-duty headaches (worse than usual), which I think are being caused by all of the recent snow storms here (changes in barometric pressure, etc.). My doctor told me it could be for another reason as well... people with brain AVMs can sometimes have decreased magnesium levels in their brain even though the levels are normal in our blood. There have been some studies that show taking magnesium supplements can help with pain relief, so I am now taking one pill twice daily.

Has anyone else heard about this?

Sorry your headaches are worse, Connie. :(
My concern w/ magnesium supplements is that some articles claim it increases bleeding risks,

Best wishes. :)
