Thank you Larry,
Hindsight is always 20/20 and I see that now. I don't know much about CFS, but I should do some reading to see what pertains to me, if anything. Have any good suggestions.
I can see that my eating habits last week were very different than they had been when I was feeling good. Basically, eating out compared to preparing fresh veggies and stuff at home.
I can relate to pushing oneself past ones limit. The first time you just don't know where your limit is and it is a hard lesson finding it. I have decided that maybe I need some type of CBT, but when I felt great I didn't need anything like that.
A few years ago I tried selenium and something else and felt spacey in the afternoon. I will try it after I see what I currently take is working out.
I didn't get much sleep last night, but I was ok today, tired, but ok. Larry, is it ok to take the Mg alone? I was thinking of adding the zinc, C, E, and B at the same time. What do you think?
I talked to my brother on Saturday. He has PTSD from Vietnam, but is on no meds. He has done well, due mostly to working out. He is physically far superior to me, but we had a good talk and he accepts my depression/anxiety problem. At first he just couldn't get it and I was pretty down, but he has had a hard year and is finally getting it out so he is growing too.
I wish I had started supplemenation last year instead of going from 7.5 mg of tranzene to 22.5. I had previously been on 15, but went in half for over a year. When sleep was disrupted last year my pdoc just upped the benzo. I sometimes think it causes me some memory impairment. I hope for new discoveries and new meds with less side effects. Thanks Larry.
