Has chewing ever worn you out?

I was going to get a salad with my dad. I hadn’t seen him in two weeks, and he had some papers to give me, so he came and picked me up for lunch. I decided I wanted CiCi’s pizza as it has a salad bar as well as a pizza buffet. They had my spinach pizza! I sat down, bit into it, and was too tired to chew. It took 15 minutes to eat half a piece. I tried a breadstick, once again, took a bite, and could not finish it. I put it in a napkin. My magnesium must be low again (remember my two ER visits). I AM taking my Magnesium Glycinate every day. However, I think my doctor underestimated how much I should be taking. So I’m going to start taking more.

I hope you'll call and talk to a nurse in your doctor's office before you increase the dose, though. I'd hate for it to be caused by something else.

He just can’t afford that kind of weight loss.

My dad wanted me to go to the ER and have my magnesium level checked again.

@AmbiePam Sorry, I totally misread that and somehow my eyes inserted the word "gum" there. Weird! Yes, I've been too tired to keep chewing my food before.

Maybe you should see your doctor again and tell him about it? I do get tired of chewing when the meat is not that tender. But not salad!

I probably should. I just get so tired of medical facilities. But who doesn’t?

I'm sorry you have so little energy. Good advice by DaddyEvil to check with your doctor perhaps before increasing your dosage.

I often feel that way. Sometimes breathing wears me out, and people don't understand. I still don't have my mangesium. I need to get some tomorrow.

Unless l am eating mountains of food, l won't get tired chewing - l don't eat much anyway. You should have it checked out.

See a doctor. I hope they will solve your problem. I chew every morsel of my food as much as I can. I eat a little, but it takes me more than 30 minutes to finisheating. Our digestive system begins from our mouth and what we take gets half digested in our mouth.

Sorry that you were feeling that way, about it being low and it causing that. I don't know that I have. I've been too full that I took a long time to finish something small for dinner.

It’s time to call the doctor again. This has gone on long enough, there has to be a solution somehow. I’m so sorry.
