It think it's important to add that it's not (or shouldn't be) an ego thing about who's "boss". My doctors are part of my team, of which I am captain (yet my PCP is "manager"). I respect their opinions (ALL opinions are respected and considered), and am willing to do what I need to do to earn their trust and respect. It takes some considerable effort assembling a "winning" team that works well, but it is so worth it.

Have you tried all the "MrsD-recommended" supplements?

Doc
I do take some of the recommended supplements. I take Flax seed oil, B12, Folate with Iron, D3 (I was deficient), and COQ10 at 75mg daily. Thats all I take, and I eat alot of greens, nuts, and fruit. I also pray.

Good Luck

Thank you for the info. I have an appointment at the end of the month with my neuro and I will discuss this with her.
