Hi Dr. Smith, In regards to the supplements I am so unsure what to do. I am ordering the R-Lipoic acid today but it seems everytime I go to take something either my neuro or rheumo tell me not to murky the waters. I come here and read what seems to be good results with supplements etc. I have so many supplements in my closet at home. I had a doctor at the Sjogrens clinic at Hopkins tell me to throw them all in the trash, don't even take a daily vitamin. How do all of you handle it if your docs tell you not to take supplememts you think may provide some relief? I have a medical background but yet I am so confused with all of this. Good nurse bad patient!
