She didn't say anything about my caclium and magnesium so I guess they didn't test that. Here's my Vitamin D levels. She said my iron levels were normal. Should I take a 1,000 mcg B12 vitamin or 1/2 of a pill? I bought GNC megamen multivitamin but I was worried about taking before I got the results of my test as I don't want to overdo any of the supplements.

25-OHD3 indicates both endogenous production and
supplementation. 25-OHD2 is an indicator of exogenous
sources, such as diet or supplementation. Therapy is
based on measurement of Total 25-OHD, with levels
<20 ng/mL indicative of Vitamin D deficiency, while
levels between 20 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL suggest
insufficiency. Optimal levels are > or = 30 ng/mL.

For the NPA test, I scored high in the math section(which was really basic) and general knowledge. I used to be really good at doing hard mental math in my head but now it's to hard to hold the numbers and my brain gets foggy quickly and I have to stop.
I have tried any other antidepressants. Can I still take amitryptaline and an SSRI? I'm worried if I get off the amitryptaline my headaches will come back and they are unbearable.
I couldn't agree more with you windseeker. Stay strong and know there are others who understand the battle you face on a daily basis. Unfortunatley people who don't have PCS seem to just not get it and have their own genius medical opinions.
