Hi Hank and Linda @jesfactsmon. I have been trying different experiments and have decided to make changes. First of all, with my headache, I break out 2 “ice tea cubes” in little water to sip on when I feel the headache coming on. The tea seems to stop it all together. I don’t wait anymore for the headache to become full blown.
I thought about the ALA and the burning in my stomach. I decided the benefits were not worth the misery of the burning because it would linger all day. The changes of lowering the dosage and taking the acetyl L Carnitine only allowed an occasional relief for a day. I did not experience any additonal energy with the acetyl L Carnitine so I stopped both. It has been 2 weeks now without the supplements and I feel better not having the burning in my stomach.
Additionally, yesterday I ended my eye exercises since the motion sickness had gotten worse. A lack of balance and increased motion sickness makes doing activities very difficult. I can tolerate less endurance. I still have strength in my arms and legs. I just need the motion sickness to go away so I can build on balance. I believe exercises or neuroplasticity will help. I see that I do better with practice. I believe the brain learns because I started out in a wheelchair and after practicing I am now ambulatory. It is not for everyone because it does takes time, repetition, and discipline. Stay well! Hope you are both doing good today. Toni
