I had taken a supplement break, which I occasionally do, and when I began feeling unwell last week, thought that, hey, maybe they are actually helping in some specific ways.

I bought the acetyl-L-carnitine that I've always taken.

I'm not sure if they help or not, but I do know that as soon as I stop my nails all start breaking!

Right now my main issue is dealing with pain which is presumably from the back surgery earlier in the year, but which is more in my left butt/hip than back. I'm wondering if it's not bursitis or something more focal.

But I'm back on program.
