[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 209127, member: 18023"] I agree that I wouldn't take calcium supplements, I should have been more specific. I have read some pretty negative information about calcium supplements. My blood level of calcium is always in the middle of the range, which led me to think it's not a problem. What made me try to increase my intake of calcium rich foods was that I still occasionally get a muscle cramp. (diaphragm or right below my rib cage) I do take progesterone and magnesium, which also has some sort of influence on CA/MG ratios, though I am not clear exactly how. I take the MG for muscle cramps and to alleviate constipation, and progesterone to help with sleep. It's possible that progesterone / mg had an effect on calcium (cellular/brain, who knows), though nothing ever showed up in blood work. HOWEVER, drinking 1-2 glasses of milk a day lowered my BP by roughly 15-20 points, which was totally unexpected. BTW, recently (before consuming more milk) I fell (freak bicycle accident) and hit my head on the concrete. My BP measured by the fire department was 189/??, and later in the hospital it was 169/>??. Shockingly high to me. I am perfectly OK, but there was a really big goose egg on my head, so decided to get checked out just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
