Summary
A Reddit user posting in a long-COVID forum, who has had thyroid problems since their teens, described their limbs easily falling asleep, including during sleep, after taking magnesium — a symptom they said they had never had before. They had recently lowered their thyroid medication dose, but concluded the magnesium was the cause. They planned to stop the magnesium while keeping their thyroid dose unchanged.
