Okay... Long story...
My BF is very tall and very skinny... his family has thyroid issues mostly hypo but I think he may be hyper...

His friend just recently got into a health kick after being very ill... He recomended magnesium to BF... I was wondering what that would help him with????

Ok, I will give the magnesium question a try. Now keep in mind this is just what I know second hand through DH, so please look up anything to confirm or go ahead and rebut if you are able to.

DH recently had some blood work done and was shown to be low in Vitamin D. The DR suggested taking a D to supplement and DH did. Only thing is it made him too energized and messed with his sleep cycle so much he was more awake than asleep. He started looking into some info and found that if you take a D you should also take a magnesium to help counter the extra energy. Once he read that, he remembered his SIL saying something to that effect to him once a while back. He started taking it with the D and his sleep cycle is no longer that messed up, only somewhat now.
So, I'm taking a wild guess here, but maybe that is why your BFs friend suggested taking magnesium. To help counter his energy (from the constant fueling and due to the hypo).
Now, again, that was only a guess and not absolute knowledge so please, please, please look it up before you try.

Okay... That makes sense.

I have been back and forth here and there working on my SIL baby shower this weekend... What a crazy mess...
I have a large family... she has a very small family...
She has panic attacks so we are trying to keep it very small and it is at my house... which is pretty small.
We invited only close family and friends (She is getting most of my sons old loot so she didn't need to ask for much)
I have had to call a great aunt and explain why I didn't invite her...
Figure out who is bringing what
food, prizes, tables, chairs....
I HATE planning parties... but her mom wasn't going to do anything for her and my mom owns her own business...
So that leaves me.

How many games are too many games?

Stick "tadpole" on womb with name on it
write babies animal names that match with the ones given {ie bear-cub}
Food {prize for plate with someting on bottom}
my water broke {ice cubes with little babies in them... whoever gets the baby out first wins}
Back and forth birth story {pass a baby back and forth with the story as it says left or right}
Open gifts, fill out envelopes for thank you notes, write advice for mom on little cards
making babies {everyone gets doh to make a baby... mom gets to pick best, worst, lifelike, creepiest}
Blind fold mom and have her place egg on womb "tadpole" closest wins prize

Everyone should end up with a gift by the end...

Wikipedia says...
"Magnesium is a vital component of a healthy human diet. Human magnesium deficiency (including conditions that show few overt symptoms) is relatively rare although only 32% of the United States meet the RDA-DRI; low levels of magnesium in the body has been associated with the development of a number of human illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Taken in the proper amount magnesium plays a role in preventing both stroke and heart attack. The symptoms of people with fibromyalgia, migraines, and girls going through their premenstrual syndrome are less severe and magnesium can shorten the length of the migraine symptoms.

In humans, magnesium appears to facilitate calcium absorption.

There has been some speculation that magnesium deficiency can lead to depression. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) magnesium has been found low in treatment-resistant suicidal depression and in patients that have attempted suicide. Brain magnesium has been found low in TRD using phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, an accurate means for measuring brain magnesium. Blood and CSF magnesium do not appear well-correlated with major depression.Magnesium chloride in relatively small doses was found to be as effective in the treatment of depressed elderly type 2 diabetics with hypomagnesemia as imipramine 50 mg daily.

Excess magnesium in the blood is freely filtered at the kidneys, and for this reason it is difficult to overdose on magnesium from dietary sources alone. With supplements, overdose is possible, however, particularly in people with poor renal function; occasionally, with use of high cathartic doses of magnesium salts, severe hypermagnesemia has been reported to occur even without renal dysfunction. Alcoholism can produce a magnesium deficiency, which is easily reversed by oral or parenteral administration, depending on the degree of deficiency."

BFs buddy was probably recomended to take it because he has asthma (and I would say that he had severe depression)
Not sure it would help BF much...

D and calcium work together
and
calcium and Mg work together
wierd...

I hope everyone has fun... nothing like a boring shower
