I feel like I only come here when I'm really struggling so I wanted to come here to share some positive news.
For the first time in 20+ years, I can actually say that I'm feeling pretty good. I have sustained energy that lasts me from waking until bedtime. I'm able to stay on my feet for long periods of time. I've started light exercise. I have better mental clarity (but still struggle with memory loss and brain fog. it's just significantly improved). No muscle aches, migraines. Still have nocturia and incontinence issues.
Anyway, here is what has helped me:
Pindolol - I feel like doctors overlooked my heart issues my whole life or didn't treat them as seriously as they were. Dr Vera put me on this beta blocker and I was reluctant to take it because i had bad associations with them. But it changed everything. I could stand without feeling dizzy or exhausted. My energy felt stable. I didn't get the afternoon crashes. I'm able to lightly exercise without feeling my heart rate skyrocket.
Glutathione nasal spray - I've had a wonderful response to this. This has had the greatest impact on brain fog, mental clarity and energy.
Niacin, 500mg - this gives me wonderful, lasting energy. I feel so great on it. I worry it's not sustainable but for now, I take it once a day religiously. I've had nothing but positive reactions to it. I can't say enough great things about niacin. I love the way I feel on it.
Rhodiola Rosea, 500mg - this was my previous standby for giving me energy and helping me feel more able to get through the day. It lost some of it's effect but combined with the niacin and ubiquinol, seems to really help.
Ubiquinol - 100mg per day - when I don't take this, I notice I get more body aches and feel more tired.
LDN - I still take this every night but can't say I've noticed any effect. I'm hoping more it's helping me long term and in ways that I may not feel.
Today I talk to Dr Ty Vincent and I'm excited about that and scared too. While the above cocktail has dramatically changed my life, it also doesn't seem sustainable and if I can actually find a way to get to the root of all these things rather than go through life taking so many pills just to feel good, then I'll try anything.
I'm also wearing a heart monitor for 30 days because my cardiologist said that many of Dr Klimas' patients who come to him have a bad circuit in their heart and he is able to ablate the circuit surgically and that for nearly everyone, this completely cures them and they get their life back. I have POTS, mitral valve prolapse and a suspected bad circuit. So we will see...
