Hi Debbie
Thanks for the new board; I am still trying to get on there; I feel
challenged in this sometimes-those first steps. haha!!
>>One thing that kept me wondering about my symptoms of PPS is that
the one thing I know for certain the last few years is that if I
overdo it I never get back any part of muscle that I lost. I went
through two cycles of physical therapy in the beginning of this last
flare up about 3 years ago. The docs don't know what to do, although
the dog seems to be a real hit as she does so much for me. I have
recently started on some L-Carnatine that I received from a
Naturopath here in my area; due to my findings she feels this may be
a lead. I learned something new today though; I am on BP meds,
Betablocker Metoprolol or Toprol XL it may have some effect on the
Carnatine or?? Well this is all stuff I do not know enough about.
Will the L-Carnatine (free-form) (from 500mg of L-carnatine-L-
tartrate) have what I need-I am up to four tablets and still adding
more every few days. It is what she thought I should start with and
not wait to order. Can others share their stories with me if they
have information about this product. Do others add Carnatine and
from what source. I am very low on money as I am not employed yet,
but must not slip any farther down the rabbit hole.
>>Another thing that is a problem is that I now have been dealing
with vitamin deficiencies in A, D, B12 and have had anemia problems
in the past. I have many leg issues and definite magnesium
deficiency. I am taking extra of all these now. It always takes high
doses of vitamins to keep me enjoying life. If I have gone off of
them for a short time I lose ground and never gain it fully back it
seems.
The information you gave me on magnesium has changed my life; no
more muscle shaking and little twitching already in just a two-week
period of time. Thank you for thinking of me and sending the
newsletters, I truly am very appreciative of your wonderful caring
nature--helping me from so far away.
