Hi Beth,
You know you can get magnesium sulfate for example by taking a foot bath with the salt called Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). I do that for muscle cramps in the calf muscles.
Celexa belongs to the SSRI drugs that now have been reported to treat MDS. I have posted about these drugs at the thread New drugs.

If Earl is responding to Vidaza you ought to see that after 6 months. I have read about patients who respond after a few weeks when they take Revlimid and other patients respond after more than 4 months when they already have stopped taking the drug.
Hope you will have a peaceful Christmas in spite of this disease!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
