I'm thinking of taking some vitamins. Maybe I'll start w/ b-12 methylcobalamin.
I'm not sure how far I need to take it. I eat healthy and get roughly 1hr of vigorous exercise a week, sometimes more, sometimes none. I've met with countless doctors and not one has recommended a vitamin approach. Yet they are willing to prescribe amitriptyline, naproxen, cannabinoids, serc and countless other drugs. Thanks for all the tips. I report back if I notice changes.

For me and many others, vitamins are a lifelong regimen because we do better while taking them. They help stabilize emotions and other things.
The concept is simple. If your brain has been injured, it is permanently compromised. So, we do what we can to reduce that compromise. |

I've noticed very subtle pain/soreness around the heart today. It's quite minor and it's something I have experienced before. However, generally in the past I haven't noticed it as much. Is B12 known to cause this? It comes and goes and it's worse if I bend over at an odd angle. As I said, very minor, not painful, just soreness/tenderness.
I took two B12 at once this morning under the tongue (500mcg X2). Methylcobalamin Otherwise I feel pretty good, one of my better days in the last 30 days. I'm not sure if I can attribute it to the b12, but I thought I'd mention it.

Hello all,
I'd like to suggest that ongoing discussions about Vitamins /Supplements regimen or questions about it be continued on the main TBI/PCS forum. The link for a new thread there - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/ne...newthread&f=92 Ongoing conversations, or off topic posts on a sticky thread tend to clutter it up and make it harder for members to find the main info that the title refers to. Thank you If you have a Vitamin or Supplement that was helpful for you, and you want to add it here, and how it helped, that would be great. ************************************************** ** Marks updated regimen here - 11-08-2014 http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post1106982-101.html

This is a once daily regimen. I would have stated otherwise if that was the case. Note it is a B-50 complex, not a B Complex. Big difference.

Hello All,
Looking for help with my current supplement regimen. Feel free to weigh in on my supplements, dosages, etc. I cannot swallow large capsules so I either open up the capsule and pour into almond milk or a smoothie or I try and find powder or liquid supplements. Taking these every morning with my smoothie: B-12: 500 to 1000 mcg daily (Twinlab vegetarian formula, sublingual, bottle doesn't say what form) D3: 2000 to 5000 iu liquid Omega-3's: ALA 4000 mg cold-pressed chia oil DHA/EPA 500mg algal oil (plant-based from marine algae, which is what fish eat to get Omega-3). B-50 I've been using Whole Foods brand "B Daily Essentials" containing: B1 50mg B2 50mg B3 55mg B5 100mg (as d-calcium pantothenate) B6 50mg Folic Acid 400mcg B12 50mg B7 300mcg Choline Bitartrate 50mg Inositol 50mg PABA 50mg Probiotics (for digestive issues) L-Glutamine @2000mg (also digestive) Protein Powder: PlantFusion plant-based blend with BCAA's and enzymes Chia (milled ground chia seeds) for fiber CoQ10 Sometimes I add some Vit C but even the buffered stuff seems to give me stomach problems. That's my basic morning regimen. Later in the day I've been taking a multi-vitamin with minerals. If my headache pain is unbearable I have to take Percocet to get through the day. At night I take @175mg of magnesium citrate (I take the minerals and magnesium seperate from morning regimen and meds because I read that these can cause other supplements and meds not to absorb properly). Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks! |
