I've had pcs for 2 1/2 years and its finally gotten so much better. I can live an almost normal life again. I never posted much, but just knowing there were other people who had similar experiences always helped my feelings of isolation so much.

Taking 2 tsp of turmeric every morning helps significantly because turmeric decreases swelling and its effects build up over time. I just started taking 1 tsp of maca powder for brain fatigue and it seems to be working.

Acupuncture helps a lot, but only when I'm treated for symptoms such as anxiety as direct headache treatment provokes them.

And Yoga has helped tremendously because it allowed me to move again. By matching my movement with my breath I could use my body without provoking symptoms. It grounds me when I have to deal with the irrational emotions, the loss of sense of self, the anxiety, and depression. But make sure to find a genuine studio that is about serving people, not about looking good, and a good teacher and start with gentle classes.

I wish you all the best. And remember things do get better, even if sometimes its just that we get better at coping.

Omega-3 fish oil tabs seem to have given me awful gas/abdominal discomfort...

has anyone else experienced this?

Are you taking it with food?

Krill oil is usually easier to tolerate.
Costco and Sam's club have it at affordable
Prices.

We use Mega Red here at our house.

Yes! I switched to Flax oil because of that problem. Try another form of Omega 3, I forget what the other besides Flax oil is but you can ask at a health food store.

I also switched to Flax Seed oil in lieu of Omega-3 Fish oil supplements.

I was having issues with tracheal inflammation from the fish oil supplements. Flax Seed oil does much better for me.

Another source of Omega-3's that may sound weird is raw shelled hemp seeds. They have a nutty flavor and a good balance of Omega-3's to omega 6 ratio.

I was getting these at local supplement store but found better pricing and quality (in my view anyway) on amazon.

It's not uncommon. Are you taking with a decent sized meal, that will help.

Krill oil(Mega Red is one brand ) is often without GI disturbance. Also there are DHA supplements made from Algae, and those don't upset people either.

Did you experience headaches?

I am currently taking one liquid gel a day of the following blueberry extract:

Amazon.com: Wild Blueberry Concentrate - Made from Organic Berries | GMO & Gluten Free - Packed with Antioxidants and Phytonutrients | 6 Liquid Softgels - 2 Month Supply!: Health & Personal Care

I have noticed a discernible difference with this product on my daily function. Although I am by no means "normal" with this, I notice I can think more clearly, have fewer reading problems, and have better memory, and am also better able to tolerate caffeine more frequently. This effect is equal for me to eating an entire container of blueberries each day.

I can't find a citation for this, but I have read elsewhere that blueberries contain substances which activate a particular enzyme which improves the flow of oxygen to the brain. Given that caffeine causes reduced blood flow in the brain, that would explain my increased tolerance for caffeine while taking this product.

Are there any guidelines about the safe doses of Vitamin B-6? I am a bit confused: some of you mentioned taking 50mg or 100mg daily, and many products offer high doses (I was for instance considering this supplement: Daily Essential Nutrients - A Natural Alternative For Mood Disorders, which would provide 66mg per day), but in my home country the official recommendation is to avoid exceeding 5mg per day because of the potential neurotoxicity.

Is it sensible to take B-12 and B-6 separately, in order to get a high dose of B-12 and a low of B-6? Or is the balance important?
