by PWC given that this disorder has as part of its pathology, massive

taurine

wasting and also then consequent magnesium wasting, both of which are

critical to

brain glial cell functioning and neuron inhibition of excitotoxicity.

The brain

symptoms are a huge quality of life zapper no doubt and of course

there have been

many suicides by PWCs because of, IMO, depressive reactions to ME/CFS

brain

symptoms.

Hi , my husband who also has ME and borreliosis, has great thirst

problems and wierd brain problems relating to the thirst (amongst all

the rest). He was tested for DI but came out negative. He was however

given some vasopressin spray stuff and had a really bad reaction to it.

Anyway, could you please point me in the direction of where I might

find out more about CFS and taurine wasting and magnesium wasting.

How do taurine problems relate specifically to DI/thirst symptoms?

Many thanks in advance and thanks for your informative posts, glad you

are improving,
