The "do you have this" forum has a looong thread about other things PCOSers have been diagnosed with -- just about everything on the following list was mentioned very frequently in that thread:

Possible symptoms of a magnesium deficiency:

Blood Sugar Disorders
Bruxism
PMS
Difficulty sleeping
Migraines
Asthma
Fibromalgia
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Preclampsia in pregnancy
Heart Problems
Osteoporosis & other bone problems

This list is from the Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution -- Nature's Answer to Drugs book that's my favorite complementary medicine book.

Atkins also says that many people have absorption problems with magnesium, that it's possible to take too much and cause problems -- and that a good solution is to take baths/footsoaks with Epsom salts -- your body will just absorb what it needs without taking in too much.
