Mag. helps me sleep too ... and I have less joint pain with it --- so yah, I take approx 1000 mg (in a multiple vit and mineral supplement called Catalyst from Mannatech) before I head to bed... it also helps keep the system working good (no constipation which they all warned would happen with chemo and herceptin) and I have had none.

I still have weird dreams --- won't miss that - hoping it goes away after the Herceptin, next year.
