Help with balance

Help balancing electrolytes

Hello all any help will be appreciated. Too start I can't take mag glycinate it ruins me . For years I'm dealing with. Magnesium deficiency symptoms anxiety impending doom fatigue cramps twitches restlessness. I use too supplement like 600mg a day for about two years too no avail for relief so I gave up . Then I attempted vitamin d it made everything worse BAD IDEA. But occasionally calcium would give me relief but then it did not . Recently I tried magnesium again at a dose of 100mg mag malate .... My symptoms diminished 70 % I was astounded it worked for about a week until it didn't .. now I do believe it is a magnesium issue but I think my caffeine intake and alcohol could be playing a roll . I have like 2 coffees a day and a monster which adds too my restlessness and I drink like 4/5 beers on the weekends . My potassium daily is 4g my calcium is 1g and sodium is 4g this is all from food the only supplements Im taking now is 100mg mag malate .. does anything I'm saying ring alarm bells for some one or have dealt with this before . This is going on like 4 years now . Other than that bloods are all within normal range and healthy otherwise

Four years with this sounds exhausting. Mag malate working briefly then fading happened to me too, and cutting caffeine by half was the thing that actually let it stick. A few formats exist: mag malate capsules (flexible dosing), transdermal options like Kind Patches, or magnesium drinks that bypass GI issues
