Re: vitamins

[Guest guest]

In the past I have suffered from " extreme bruising " (yeah, I'm sure THAT'S

the technical term! LoL). Even went to see my MD about it. This was before I

started LC. But, my MD told me it was an electrolyte imbalance and gave me a

prescription that helped. I am sorry that I cannot recall what it was. He

also recommended a specific vitamin/mineral supplement that I took for a

while that kept me from bruising so easily. I wish I could remember what the

vitamin/mineral supplement was. Drats! LC has impacted my memory :-(

I still don't have a definite PLS diagnosis, but the neuro who said he thinks

that's what I have recommended heavy vitamin dosages, mostly anti-oxidants. I

was concerned about the Vitamin E recommendation -- 800 IU 4x a day, or 3200

IU. That's at least 4 times the recommended dose, and I believe it does build

up in your body. He also recommended 500 mg. of Vitamin C 4x a day and 50 mcg

of selenium, 4x a day. I'm OK with those dosages, but not the Vitamin E.

I have been taking 400 mg of Vitamin E and 500 mg of Vit. C for 10 years,

plus a multi-vitamin. I added the selenium and lipoic acid. I opted not to

start

the mega doses until I have at least a second neuro tell me I have PLS.

Hopefully I'll get some answers at s Hopkins later this month.

Anyone have any suggestions or comments about the mega doses?

The neurologist I am seeing was at s Hopkins and is now at the University

of land. His name is Dr. Reich. The neurosurgeon is at Hopkins, Dr.

Long.

Would you be kind enough to send me the list of vitamins you take. Send it to

me personally at edith@... so we don't clog up the Yahoo site.

Thanks.

Edith who is your appointment with? I ran off the tons of vit. I

took to Maragakis and he seemed fine with it all. I felt like they

really approved of the CoQ10 and NADH.

Please ask them what they recommend and if they will use stem cell

testing soon.

Thanks,

Donna

Donna: Yes I did receive your email. Sorry I didn't let you know. That's

quite a lot of pills to take. There are so many different approaches to

vitamins

and I'll continue to check into what might be best for me. Thanks for your

help.
