You could.... start at 250mg twice a day.

This is because acetyl carnitine is not absorbed well, so divided doses give you MORE.

It is a fine point, but if you do well on less, then that is something you need to know.

--a serum and urine electrophoresis is the immunoglobulin test; it should also be done with an enumeration of IgA, IgG, and IgM and a test for cryoglobulins.

@ Archer.... have you tried soaking your feet in epsom salts --with warm (not hot) water?

This can open up the circulation faster than oral supplements for some people. When the circulation is poor, blood is not getting to the feet, and whatever supplement you are using is just not
getting in. Once you "get ahead" of the problem, it will become easier. You may be able to drop the soaks, as the magnesium does it job orally more efficiently.

I found an interesting PDF the other day on epsom salts, --more details on how to do them:

Thanks MrsD, I will try the epsom salts recommendation. Appreciate your help so much.

Here is a PDF from Thorne supplements on PN.

You'll see just about everything we discuss here listed on it.

Thorne products are detailed mostly to physicians for resale to
patients.
