Gary,
The thing that was mentioned earlier was L-Carnitine. I've been using it for a
few weeks, but it's hard to tell since I've got some other things going on
right now (pain) that is keeping me from being very functional. But there have
been a few days when I thought it might be helping. I had asked my Pharmacist
(he does 'pain management' for my health plan) about it when someone on the
TMIC first mentioned it and this is the email he sent me:
"As you know Amantidine is a drug and L-carnitine is a natural supplement. I
prefer Acetyl-L-Carnitine in that it gets into the brain much better than
L-carnitine. A good starting dose for Acetyl-L-Carnitine would be 500 mg twice
a day 30-40 minutes before meals. It is harmless and will not interact with any
meds you are on. Try vitacost.com, I like the Jarrow brand but NSI is ok."
Betterlife.com is another cheap place to order name brand supplements from.
Also, I personally need extra B vitamins in order to have a reasonable amount
of energy (I use Solgar B-Complex, Stress Formula) - but everyone's different.
If you're working at all, you're ahead of me! :)
Good luck,
Sally
