I am beginning to suspect that brain has a bigger role in CFS. For instance, before I was bedridden for 3 months from last November to this year January, I was able to think pretty clearly when needed, have decent memory span, and choose the proper words in conversation. Since the worsening of CFS symptoms, my brain has been fogged consistently. I have lots of troubles in understanding or memorizing useful information. It is not rare for me to go over the same paragraphs several times, and even then, I forget the information pretty easily. My brain has been performing more and more poorly and I really would like to improve brain functionality. I just turned 27, so it would be ridiculous for me to think that this poor performance is from aging.
In a search for brain supplements, I've come across an interesting site that lists many supplements that help with brain functionality. http://nootriment.com/nootropics-list/
I am not associated with that website or any supplements being sold in any ways.
The website classifies supplements based on their effects on brain functionality/neurotransmitters, and enzymes that are related to neurologic reactions. This list is somewhat helpful, but it is very limited in its usage. For instance, I have seen several members on this forum who have negative reactions to sulfulr or thiol containing supplements. Tryptophan is another chemical that is not well tolerated by many people. This site does not mention anything in regards to chemical reactions with other supplements or potential side effects. It merely advertises different supplements based on the rating, which is what we often see from a typical review/marketing website.
Based on my previous experiences, I know how harmful supplements could be if taken blatantly. I strongly believe that expressed genetic profile is the most important factor determining the right supplements. I wanted to gather information based on PR members experiences to tie genetic profile to reactions from the supplements. Some of these supplements are prescription only and dosage safety has not even been tested. The ones I am really interested are racetams, cholinergics, acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors, GABAergics, serotonergics, dopaminergics, and cognitive enhancers. If you have tried any of the supplements listed below, please share your story along with your genetic profile (if you know). Thank you so much.
