Hi, I'm new here and was hoping to get your guys opinion on acetylcholine, and specifically a supplement that I recently tried by the name of Parasym plus. This supplement, developed by Diana Driscoll contains various forms of acetylcholine such as alpha gpc, Huperzine a, and acetyl l carnitine.
After reading an interview between her and the low histamine chef, it seemed that this supplement would do wonders as I also suffer from pots and mcas. Initially it made a huge difference for my flushing, but after several days I became extremely sore and tired, so I stopped the supplement. Now, a week later I am the worst I have ever been, suffering from extreme adrenaline rushes, as well crippling muscle soreness, and almost everything is driving me into Pem.
I tried taking the supplement again, this time at a much smaller dose, 1/4 of the lowest recommended dose, and while it calmed me, it caused the muscle soreness to get worse, so I once again got off of it two days ago. Ultimately I guess I posted this to ask if these types of supplements can cause severe reactions in PWME, and if you guys had any advice on how to halt this terrible crash.
My cfs has been pretty mild in these first two years, and I am honestly terrified that I have somehow permanently ruined my body, as I am currently mustering up all of my strength just to sit up to type this. I have just been lying in bed the past few days, and I am afraid my regression will only get worse. If any of you have had a similar situation when trying these three substances that the supplement is made out of please share
