I just wanted to say that I have tried vit D, 5000 mg, at night when the torture starts, and it has been working! My concern is about overdoing the dosage, but I like your idea of scaling back. Do you have experience with R-ALA? Some people here are saying it is also helpful. I am wondering if this syndrome always progresses. That is a depressing thought.

@julchilds I think the 5000 mg per day is the recognized totally safe amount to take per day. I know there are people who take 20,000 mgs per day without side effects but I don't recommend that without medical supervision. And if I need to up my dosage, I will simply get monitored while increasing it to assure I'm not going over the safe edge. And I tried tablets and found them not as effective as those kind of rubbery capsules.
