it's the closest to normal as I've come in the year and a half I've been on this forum.
Quote from: kurtosis on 13/07/2012 10:10:48Anyway, for the first time in 20 years, I have no noticeable POIS symptoms. I'm taking Gingko, Huperzine and a high-strength b complex with active co-enzymes of b12 and b6. I'm also taking krill oil. The Huperzine seems to have sorted out the eye problem. I didn't take it yesterday morning and the eye control problem was back. 200mcg of it and within 10 minutes it's fixed and my memory is greatly improved. I've had 4 O's in a week with no diminishment in cognitive performance. Can you elaborate on the specific brand information?

Good post Tony! I have been suspecting Lyme for a long time which includes a severe deficiency of B12.You give hope.

I have been suspecting Lyme for a long time which includes a severe deficiency of B12.You give hope.I was tested for Lyme and it was negative. However, some tests are not accurate due to the evolution of lyme disease. My physician went over the lab results with me and we both determined that Lyme disease was not a factor in my case and the very expensive, accurate lab was not ordered. If you believe Lyme may be responsible for some of your symptoms you can easily get a Lyme test.

If you believe Lyme may be responsible for some of your symptoms you can easily get a Lyme test."We are told by manufacturers, health departments and clinics that the Lyme ELISA tests are good, useful tests, but in two blinded studies that tested laboratories for accuracy, they failed miserably. Lorie Bakken, MS/MPH, showed in her studies that there was not only inaccuracy and inconsistency between competing laboratories, but also between identical triple samples sent to the same lab. In other words, identical samples often resulted in different results! In the first study, forty-five labs correctly identified the samples only 55% of the time.In the latest study by the College of American Pathologists, 516 labs were tested. The overall result was terrible! There were almost equal numbers of false positives as false negatives. Overall, the labs were 55% inaccurate. The labs could only give a correct result 45% of the time. You are actually better off to flip a coin!"I have been bit by those **ckers more than 4 times in my life.I have nearly all the symptoms.Many CFS sufferers have Lyme but have not been diagnosed yet.The last time I went cycling with a friend and got bit by a tic.I asked my friend and he has never had any tic bites while those little bastards find me everytime I go near a forrest.Somehow I attract them but why? Body odour?

I have bought all the supplements you have mentioned and have begun taking them mostly with the doses suggested by the labels. You've mentioned that you take a more that the suggested dose, saying you take probably twice what I do.Could you list the doses of each specific supplement/herb/vitamin that you are taking, so that I can replicate your regimen? I don't have access to the same B-complexes you do, so I'd love to know the doses of the particular items of importance in those pills. You also mention "active co-enzymes" of b6 and b12, and I dont know what those are. I have been supplementing b6 and b12 separately in addition to taking a B-complex. Otherwise I have all the other items you'v mentioned you useI saw you have had great success in reducing your mental symptoms and I would love to have the same results!Thanks!
Krill Oil.I have in the past taken fish oil capsules (good quality brand) and never noticed anything for the better while on them, so was off and on them over the years. Recently I have started taking a good quality distilled artic cod liver oil which has DHA/EPA/Omega3. I have been reading good things about krill oil, but then I have also read other articles that say that while its is a great supplement it is over hyped and over priced compared to regular fish oils. I realise its hard to isolate a specific item, when one is taking multiple supplements, but for those that are taking Krill oil, do you think it is any better than fish oil, just from personal experience?
How much of the B complex are you taking? That would be my last dosage question.Also, are you still taking Magnesium and ZincWith B6, B12, Krill, Magnesium and Zing I have definitely felt different. I have been abstaining for the past 2 weeks because I became quite depressed and needed to back off the sexual activity, so I can't tell you if I have reduced POIS symptoms. As far as my other health issues go, I had a very interesting few experiences where I was able to feel anger and act on it. For the majority of my life, I have been very passive and felt like I had become numb to my anger in order to avoid conflict. This has been a bad thing, but the past week I have been able to act upon subtle feelings of anger with positive results. Some people might not see this as positive but I definitely do lol! I have had such an issue expressing my anger thus resulting in depression.This has been the main positive effect. Other than that, I have felt "different" in ways I can't quite describe, which is why I'm wondering if I need to increase my dosing to really see what is being effected.Bottom line is it has given me desire to keep it up!I am taking medications for my psychiatric issues which could be making this hard for me to figure out what is going on. I want to pick up those Coenzymated vitamins. I'll let you know how I do!P.S.: Join poiscenter.com/forums! Demo will make sure you get thru the spam filter
I'd like to re-post and say that Wellbutrin, taking one 150mg XR pill every 3 days, works quite well. I feel 50-75% better and am more productive than ever. To those of you with Constant POIS, this is a game-changer.

To those of you with Constant POIS, this is a game-changer.As it's mentioned in the study below, if you're taking testosterone at the same time it can help. T participates in the antidepressant action of a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (Wellbutrin is also a NRI).http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15301926
