> You can get that stuff that is supposed to boost ATP. Tomotheus was taking it at one point. Some of those natural ways of boosting energy don't feel too good, like benfotiamine. It is supposed to treat neurasthenia.thanks for the link. It was good to review. I can easily add blueberries to my diet. I'm pretty good on the omegas. Didn't
know about the malic acid. True, some of the alt ways of boosting energy are intolerable. I have to be careful. What was it--oh, glutatamate or something like it was given to me by a doctor. It was like poison to me. Took me a few weeks to figure it out.My hope is that there is the remission factor. For now, I seem to be worsening. I get frightened. The fatigue is the worst. If it was pain alone, I would arm wrestle my docs for pain pills, but I have some old hydrocodiene which I take very sparingly to avoid dependence but it does not touch the fatigue. It also does very little toward that creeping level of despair.
To get a doctor to take this seriously is difficult. A hormone panel as suggested in the link would be great. II would need to find a reliable alt doc I imagine. Most docs here look at my history and say she's just depressed, etc, etc. Or fibromyalgia, take two aleve, walk every day and see me in three months (as one doc really said to me for $750).
