I did get my IVIG today. Still very nauseous. I had to doses of Zofran during the Rx. The nurse spoke with my doctor and he told her I might need to go back up to 60mgs again for a while. He does not know I didn't even try to go to 30 yet. I'm not going to try that until Sunday.

Mrs. D. If I were going to try the tryptophan should I wait until I've been tapering for awhile? I know you suggested not to start it in beginning of the taper.

Am I reading correctly that I need to take mag mad B6 with it? I use the mag lotion I'm assuming that is ok? The doctor told the nurse for me to call if the nausea remains. He will order Zofran what do u think?

Thanks for any advise.

The mag lotion should be enough. And not really high B6, just some. A Centrum Silver might be enough.

I don't know much about IVIG.... can't help you there. Sorry.

Couldn't find L-tryptophan locally, so we're going online.
In looking for magnesium, we found this
http://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-A...nesium+lactate
but it's not labelled as lactate, malate (she also has fibro) etc.

Triptophan has arrived. Label says to take it with fruit juice. Any idea why, and if that's necessary? TIA

Doc

All I know is not to take it with other proteins or amino acids.

So Milk is out, food is out, etc.

Some sites say to take with a small amount of carbohydrate to help it across the blood brain barrier.

I never did that but I did take it away from any other foods with protein in them.
