It is quite possible that fears could exacerbate the anxious/depressed feelings, but sometimes these feeling just precede a flare. Almost like an aura before a migraine. Very strange.

I do exercise as I am able to. I know it helps, but during the flares, I tend to not to exercise because I get tachycardia, bad shaking and near to pass-out w/postural hypotention. Also, I can barley move my legs.

I do drink plenty of water and am careful with what goes in my mouth. I suffer from migraine and gastroparesis, so intake and proper nutrition a very important to me. My neurologist has started me on therapeutic levels of Alphalipoic acid and carnetine. He is waiting for my methylcabalamim lab to see whether I require B12 injections or sublingual lozenges.

I suspect it may take time to see positive results, if any, from the supplementation. My neurologist says it takes about one month, or so.

I do so appreciate your reply. Thank you for reading, Meredith
