This is very preliminary, but the last 4 days I have had more energy, and it has been very consistent. I still don't feel like myself but I wanted to share a few things.
1. Magnesium - I'm taking Doctor's Best 100% Chelated Magnesium Glycinate. I recently updated my dose to 1.2 grams a day. This is one supplement I see that universally helps CFS. I'm pretty sure a large majority of cases of CFS are caused by mitochondria dysfunction (caused by something else), and magnesium is critical for ATP production.
2. Stinging Nettle Root - This is the oddball. My SHBG is pretty high: 72 (ref: 16-55). This could be affected by the t3 I'm taking, however, this seems to be a trend with CFS: high SHBG. I'm taking 2 grams at night of generic NOW foods brand.
3. Prescript-Assist - After anihilating all of my gut flora and maybe some helpful fungi, I began using this to try to restore balance. It has been helping with consistent digestion along with the magnesium. This might actually be the most important part.
4. Selenium (100 mg) - I took this one out when I was having issues tolerating iodine, however I have read that it can be antiinflammatory in certain doses as well as help with thyroid conditions. http://chriskresser.com/selenium-the-missing-link-for-treating-hypothyroidism.
Next up:
D-ribose
Cytomel (adding to t3 regimin)
Lisinopril (Ace inhibitor, my secret weapon?)
