lots of foods high in magnesium (spinach, almonds, beans, whole grains, fish, apricots, and even dark chocolate)
In addition to the magnesium deficiency, I have also been diagnosed with early Hashimoto's thyroiditis. My mother had this endocrine problem, and if you have been reading other cycling blogs, you may recall that both Nikki and Sandra have been through it too.
So onto another medication (which conveniently may NOT be taken at the same time as my iron supplements)... but hopefully in a few weeks / months everything will be back in order. :)

Sorry to hear, girl. At least you know and you'll be racing as strong as ever, you just need to be a little patient for now. BTW: I had my regular six monthly blood test last week and guess what? I've developed an iron deficiency now. Ironic, hey!?
(... and my word verification is "bless". No kidding!)
Yes Iron..ic! :)
Low iron and thyroid stuff hey... who would have guessed!
