Fatigue is one of the main complaints we have.

It is caused by the meds. as well as the disease.

Consider focusing on excitatory neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, epinephrine (adrenaline), acetylcholine, glutamate and nitric oxide.

My LLMD says this: Try to raise the acetylcholine ( a neurotransmitter) levels using Phos Chol (phosphatidylcholine), which contains phosphorus and the choline which is a B vitamin. This may help fatigue.

Glutamate is an amino acid that is excitatory to your nerves. It may help with fatigue.

Tyrosine, Phos Chol and or glutamate may in combination help your fatigue tremendously. And the supplements "ATP" and "Taurox" may help your fatigue.

There is a company that uses about a dozen amino acids. Depending on your test results they compound a "custom" amino acid formula. This formula focuses on the nine essential amino acids.
.

This custom formula of amino acids has an 80% response rate for fatigue. If you are tired of being tired consider having this company do their amino panel for you. It cost about 225.00, you have to be fasting and not on Friday, it gives you 40 test results. My LLMD gave me this information, so I guess they all know about it. PM me if you need to.

Patient who can't afford this may want to try amino acid powder that body builders buy at health stores. Start with one tablespoon daily and gradually increase dose to about 10 grams per day. Amino acid is already "digested" so all you have to do is absorb.

I am sorry about the first version, I would not try to mislead anyone who is fighting this battle.

I hope this helps. Sorry you are sick.

I am so sorry to have mislead you guys. I was mislead myself as I had not read the entire information.

This is what it said; There are at least three companies that are using amino acids to help raise neurotransmitter levels. Our company recommends glutamine to raise GABA levels.GABA is a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect like serotonin. Glutamine is also the energy source for your intestines and immune system. It may be that glutamine is a nice addition to tyrosine and tryptophan.

There is a fourth company that uses about a dozen amino acids. Depending on your test results they compound a "custom" amino acid formula. This formula focuses on the nine essential amino acids.

This custom formula of amino acids has an 80% response rate for fatigue. If you are tired of being tired consider having the fourth company do their amino panel for you. It cost about 225.00, you have to be fasting and not on Friday, it gives you 40 test results.

Again, I apologize for the misleading information. I must read all fine print before trying to tell about it.

You could ask your LLMD about this or PM me for mine.

Wishing you well,

Sherry
