I've felt better this week. I wonder why.

I've had much reduced pain in my legs and almost none in my arms. The muscle spasms (fasciculations?) are way down. I've been sleeping better too. And the off balance/dizziness episodes are better (although today not as good as previous days).

As best as I can tell there are a few possibilities:

Maybe the nortriptiline kicked in full force (taking 10 mg every night).

Maybe the vitamins are having an effect. To answer a previous question put to me, I've been taking the following for about a month:

3,000 mcg/day of b12 (just reduced to 1,500)
800 mcg folic acid
1,000 mg of calcium
500 mg of magnesium
500 mg of phosphorous
2,000 mg fish oil
60 mg of CoQ10
a general multivitamin (I've always taken this)

Maybe I'm just getting better. I've tried to get more sleep each night and this seems to help.

Or maybe this was some sort of viral thing and my body is getting back to normal.

I had an EMG and nerve conduction study this week. Preliminary results were "looks good". Also went for some more blood work on B12 and thyroid function - awaiting the results.

Anyway, still not back to normal/perfect but I can not argue the trend recently.
