I think it may have been ok or foggy? I took 2 pills ALA for diabetes but it only seemed to help glucose. I don't know I had dramatic improvement in clarity and concentration with maybe NAC, phosphitadylcholine, phosphitadylinositol, maybe sam-E or ACLAR?
Some people here are journaling their responses and everyone to the best of their ability try to separate supplement trials so that they know (to the best of their ability) what their response is.
Each of us is an n=1 experiment. You seem to have a number of serious health problems and your journey is perhaps unique. I too, have not found a "kindred spirit" - someone who seems to be on the same path as me.
