Okay I am not taking a high dose of biotin at this time. However, I did often take biotin in the past since my nails have always been like paper. But after I ripped all ten finger nails in one day this past week and down to the quick, one past the quick. I picked up some more biotin, just planning on taking care of the nail issue.

The first day taking it, eh, nothing... second day taking it... same old, same old.... third day... hmmm I think I can actually see what's happening on the TV. Fourth day... no more buzzing sensation, and WOW I can almost see well enough to drive!!!! I feel better all over too. Not great mind you, but definitely better. Last night I actually managed to fall asleep at a normal time, and wake up in the morning, and not one of those begrudgingly okay okay I'm getting up in five.. no ten... make that twenty more minutes...

But woke up, stretched out and got out of bed. . I'm still dragging my left leg, my left hand still doesn't work for ****. But there's definitely some improvement, decidedly so in the vision area. I think the French might be on to something, or it's just one of those random MS coincidences. My fingers are so crossed that this study doesn't just turn to dust, and more so that my insurance might cover it... please let it be soon... But even if they don't, if the study shows any real promise, I might just cough up the $100 a month and take it, it can't be any worse than the Copaxone injections. And if 30mg can make me feel this much better, I can only hope that 100mg will make me feel at least the same if not better.

(BTW I'm taking Sundown Naturals vegetarian Biotin 10,000mcg 3 times a day. It's d-Biotin, with other ingredients vegetable cellulose for the capsule and contains less than 2% of silica and vegetable magnesium stearate.) So some fancy sand and salt with the pills. Since I haven't been to the beach yet this year, I think I can swallow some with the Biotin pills . I know I certainly end up swallowing far more than a few MG of both sand and salt when playing at the beach. And I only take the sundown's because it's cheap and vegetarian, not that I'm a vegetarian but I know where 'gelatin' comes from and just can't swallow it, I get enough from the rx pills but try very hard not to think about it.

I'm just blown away that this morning for the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to watch TV and not get dizzy from all the things moving around on the screen that the poor eyes were trying to keep up with. Even if I still choose not to drive, at least I can see where the car I'm in is going and keep track of all the other cars around me, that makes me feel a whole lot safer while being driven by other people.
