As for the mitochondrial side of things, I've read here people take something for it (CoQ10, acetyl L carnitine), have you taken any of these?
18 months later does not sound so miraculous to me.I read on this forum and are still taking about 7 or 8 supplements. Including those you mentioned plus,B-12 injections and oral Foltanks that has methyl-b-12 and Folic acid included. Magnesium, Benfolamine,vitamin D-3,Vitamin B-1, and Fish oil. I have recently dropped the Bentfolamine as I was afraid of duplication after starting the Foltanks. I went to a Chiropractor who convinced me about the practice of excercising to tolerance.If your blood has the right (stuff) and you call on that unreponsive muscle, it will try to fire the nerve. This will speed the rewiring or repair that brings strength. I have been to two Neurologists and was told to go home and lose weight. Even the Mayo clinic says that if you have an underlying or pre-existing condition to treat that and that is the best you can do for yourself. I had Diabetes and then had a car-wreck. So, prepare yourself for a long road of discovery and try not to despair. I was in such a panic early-on that I tried all that I could try. Since, I have a journal and write down symptoms before trying new things. This way I discovered that Gabapentine was not helping me. I don't know your symptoms except for the wasting, I had wasting plus the burning zapping,sensitive skin,etc. So to restate, don,t do anything that will confuse you or the Neurologist for 8 or 9 days. Write down questions that you absolutely want answers to because getting a Neuro that will take the time to tell you anything is rare. Wish you luck and answeres, Ken in Texas.
