Magnesium deficiency

Dad has been having trouble with his shoulder on his paralyzed arm aching the past few days, which we had a bit of trouble getting to stop aching for him - it's starting to look like it and the headaches he had been having was due to a magnesium deficiency. Apparently up to 75% of Americans don't get anough magnesium in their diets and a deficiency can cause leg cramps, migraines and fatigue. It helps to maintain normal muscle and nerve function - so when he got deficient in it the result was nerve and muscle aches. He seems to be doing a LOT better now - which is good since I was about ready to beat my head into a wall.
