Updates & Notes:

June 16: Was having some digestion problems. And the usual, ongoing exhaustion. Stopped all supplements except multi-vitamin. Also have been taking 2000 mg cordyceps and 130 mg DMAE. These are alleged to improve mental clarity.

June 20: No change in digestion problems, but, to my surprise, nothing worsened with my PN. Added in 10 g d-ribose.

June 21-24: Went up to 15 g d-ribose. Somewhere between 10 g and 15 g d-ribose, I began to recover my energy. For example, I woke up before the alarm and got out of bed. I did some long-postponed paperwork. I cleaned the inside of the refrigerator. I was like Lazarus back from the dead.

June 30: Mild return of left foot cramping at night and that weird stagger walk first thing in the morning. Added back 100 mg magnesium. Won't add it again tomorrow.

July 1: Still on 15 g d-ribose. Losing a little bit of the energy, but I'm hoping not to relapse. Worsened stagger walking in the morning. Added 500 g L-lysine. Won't add it again tomorrow.



Lab Tests Results, June 24:

Hermatology: Everything normal except RBC 4.21; HGB 13.3; HCT 38.8; MCH 31.6. I need someone to tell me what these things are.

Chemistry: Everything normal, including Uric Acid 4.0.

Immunoassays:
TSH 3.1 (Don't know what that is.)
B12 985.0 (This is "High," yes?)
Folate 18.4

Miscellaneous:
TIBC 425 (Don't know what that is.)

My doctor views these results as "Normal" and has no interest in follow up at this time.
