According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, 80 percent of people are deficient in magnesium, and blood tests don’t reflect this deficiency. The typical American diet only provides 40 percent of the magnesium needed by the body.
Common symptoms of magnesium deficiency include heart disease, palpitations, eyelid twitching, lip twitching, leg muscle cramps (charley horses), fatigue, constipation, and adrenal exhaustion.
Causes of magnesium deficiency include consuming excess sugar, alcohol, and caffeine, smoking, the use of prescription medications, and sweating (magnesium deficiency is common in athletes. Many symptoms in autoimmune disease are related to magnesium deficiency. For more information see the Nutritional Magnesium Association.

Re: Magnesium Deficiency
Hi,
I just received the new edition of The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean, and she emphasizes that calcium supplements, junk food, and various conditions such as fibromyalgia increase our need for magnesium. I'm hoping to write an article on this topic this week.
A good oral supplement would be about 1000 mg daily, but many people have conditions of magnesium wasting where they lost more magnesium than they take in orally. While some people use intravenous magnesium, the Nutritional Magnesium Association recommends using an oil or gel that's used topically. I have a few friends who are using magnesium sprays, which are also absorbed well. I'd check with www.nutritionalmagnesium.org for more information on dosing. Best, Elaine
