Hi @athenalee I am so sorry to hear of all health issues you are facing. With a liver transplant do you need to be careful with medications that are broken down in the liver. Medications are either broken down in the liver or kidneys. Luckily you have the option of which medication for the proper breakdown route for you.
I feel you are exactly right. Everyone is different. To find help a person needs to experiment. Keeping a log is a great idea. Since doctors know very little about my illness, I have been able to find help for myself through my experiments. I find information through my physicians. I had concerns with my health which caused them to perform labs for answers. Now I am relieved.
How is the ALA working for you? I had discovered eating a diet with low carbs and performing exercises decreased my neuropathy pain. I also try various supplements. Although ALA was somewhat helpful in decreasing my neuropathy pain I had a burning in my stomach and stopped it. I came to a conclusion that eating a well balanced diet is more important. Many supplements that others found helpful, I did not. It all depends on each person’s diet. Last week I received my Fitbit. It offers tremendous help with keeping track of my exercise activities and other health information like heart rate, steps, calories( burned and intake), water intake, etc. I believe it helps me to meet goals and in the long run improve my overall health. I wish you well to find more answers for yourself. Keep experimenting. Toni
