doing better, wondering why...

The only way to know is to cross check it by pausing supplementation and testing if the effect will go on. If it's a combination it will take more time. Then there's the fact that some things work well in the beginning and then they work differently later on, getting better can also be the effect of what we did long term prior to introducing these changes. Or it's the lithium and it will be easy.
I think if lithium helps, depends on many factors, and therefore might in some cases, while others not. If I cross-check my supplemental lithium intake (mainly from lithium containing mineral water, some orotate), it at least didn't hinder my remissions. Not considering all other vitamins, amino and fatty acids, as well as plant-extracts.
Marked in orange are the onsets of main conditions, and in lighter yellow their remissions (first column): 1 = PAD, 2 = COPD, 3 = PEMs.
2021, not being able to sun-bath for 2 winters on an India beach, slight legs pains from 1 returned, though far from the severity as with the original walking-disability. Before remission, my walking-disabilty improved already to 2 hrs painfree walking, undone by 2 in 2012 again. 4 = for the first time rheumatoid arthritis, already ceased with upping anti-inflammatory plant extracts again.
If one checks the 10th year, 2018, one can see many minerals more clearly associated with PEMs remission, than Lithium alone.
All are the actual elemental mineral weights, except Hydrogencarbonate (including other bicarbonates). Since I don't eat processed food, Sodium includes added salt (missing some in local food on my almost yearly India vacations, and the first years). When I calculated my dietary potassium intake the first 3 years, it was at 4.1 g/d additional, Na at 1.9, Ca at 1.1, and Mg at 0.6 g/d.

i am not willing to test it atm, very much needing the stability rn, also you never know how long it's going to last... maybe at a later date
In general I think that lithium orotate is safe to use and remission friendly, I was a bit reluctant thinking that it could dampen dopamine too much, but from what I've read is it has more regulatory effect and my experience confirms that as well. When I first tried it years back, it created strong anhedonia, so it can be too much sometimes. It seems that it improved my fats metabolism, it helped with inflammation probably via reducing arachidonic acid and improving GABA.
I see that I am not alone in the spreadsheet craze lol.
The wildest thing I discovered is that a single nutrient can alter how other function and interact, when a dose is above or under a sweet spot threshold. That gives so many variables and I already see that you take much more and also much less minerals than I take.
Yeah, I wouldn't test it as well.
