My legs collapsing underneath me without warning since I’ve been on ga
Eight years ago I moved back to Wisconsin and during that time I noticed my hands shaking and enrolled at my old family hospital
I was prescribed Propaninal and within months it eliminated most of my hand shaking
About a year or so later I was in the same hospital network and had an emergency visit where they crated my chest and found a minor anuryism on my aorta
At that time my doctor stopped the propaninol and put me on gabapentin for my tremors
It took over a year to start helping with the ET’s in my hands
At about same time my back was aching terribly and saw orthopedic team at same hospital and they said gabapentin would relieve pain and increased dosage
At that time my legs would give out under me
Now my legs can’t navigate going down stairs without my collapsing of which I’ve done now over 6 times in last year
I walk 3-6 miles a day but with no confidence my legs will hold me up
I’m 72 snd 150lbs staying in very good shape
Until gabapentin
My legs collapsing underneath is increasing and it’s really affecting my life style
The propaninol worked but doctor switched me to gabapentin of which has crippled me in doing steps
And suggestions

Milk thistle B6 and magnesium will be my new diet
I’ll be cooking Thai with dried apricots, of which, with large Sunkist Prunes as an alternative to break it up a bit will be supported by green and red peppers serving as support team to my peanut cashew chicken
This forum has been so incredibly helpful!!

I’ll be mixing milk thistle with B6 and magnesium
I’ve been receiving multiple response on this forum supporting same approach
Sorry I’m still in the research phase
If you have trouble sleeping, I suggest using Melatonin. Somewhere in my research, I remember reading that it supports or is broken down into glutathione. I have been using it since, and it does seem to help increase glutathione.
I make my own capsules (size 0) and take one or two a day, but you’ll have to take for a week or two before it’s built up in your body, so if you take more, it’ll get there faster. You can buy pre-filled capsules at a reasonable price, as an alternative at any health food store.
If glutathione works for you, let me know. I’ve been telling my story and suggesting glutathione to various people for a couple of years now, and no one has gotten back to me to say that it works for them. I’d like to figure out the commonalities of this with other people so I can try to get the word out to those it can help. I don’t want to write a book or make money off it or anything. I just want to figure out how it can help more people. It took me years to figure out how to help myself, and I would love to be able to get the info out to others. Thanks.
