that
she can wear constantly for more continuous warmth against wind and cold as
a next step before considering a medication.
"Mom has been seeing a consultant about vasospasm and is currently taking
250mg of magnesium, 1000 IU vitamin D, and 500mg of Calcium. She
immediately applies warm compresses after feedings and has also done warm
olive oil. Mom claims these remedies only provide very temporary relief
and reports to have severe pain sensitive to cold/wind/ a draft etc. The
next step is to start Nimodipine."
