> It [PROGEST-E] can help with cramps, but it would probably take a lot; I think it's better to use [[thyroid]] (including T3) to solve the basic problem, since it will let you regulate the balance between estrogen and [[progesterone]], while allowing your cells to balance the minerals, retaining the [[magnesium]] needed to prevent cramping. Increasing your intake of all the main minerals, [[calcium]], [[sodium]], potassium, and [[magnesium]] usually helps in the short term, but the balance isn't stable if your [[thyroid]] is low. [[Milk]], orange juice, coffee (even decaffeinated coffee is a good source of [[magnesium]]), and well salted foods, support [[thyroid]] functions. [[Aspirin]] helps with [[thyroid]] function and mineral balance, even helps to prevent excessive estrogen production.
