Odd result

[Greyhound]

So far, I've tried combinations of about eight different supplements/herbs etc. and they all seem to either not work or have the opposite effect. I thought I was onto a winner with the taurine, but I haven't taken any supplements at all today and seem better off without them

 

I'm not made of money lol

 

However, I have noticed one odd thing:

Before trying any of the supplements, I could not put my palms and fingers symmetrically together (so each part of the hand matches up exactly with the corresponding part on the other) without feeling a sort of strong mental pain. My hands would jerk away because I could hardly bear it. It is even worse with my feet, not that I'd ever need to put my hands or feet symmetrically togther like this of course! Also this is odd because usually, I want things to feel even.

 

Anyway, recently (and unfortunately, I haven't been able to pinpoint which supplement I'd just started) I tried putting my hand together again. I could do it straight away. Although they felt a bit weird, I was able to put them together straight away without doing a bit at a time and concentrating really hard.

I have no idea why this is.

 

It's some sort of a result, but an odd one!

 

PS

I still can't do it with my feet.

Hey Greyhound,

I'd be curious as to what supps you have chosen and how long you are trying them? Did you get most of your info on what to try from here? I'm guessing your are a young one since you mentioned a diet change being hard to do because you live with parents? You don't have to go all out on a diet, but can try some eliminations of things you possibly consume alot of, like say start with dairy products, or at least the obvious artificials and colors could be avoided. have you ever done anything like that? Many here feel that supplements must be complimented with a good diet of some sort.

Correct - I'm nineteen.

 

To start with, I tried B complex+B12, inositol, Gingko biloba and St. John's wort. I got a prickly feeling all over and my urine turned bright green - symptoms of too much vitamin B. So stopped those. I also stopped the inositol because it's also a B vitamin. Then I started feeling a bit dizzy, and I thought it might be the Gingko biloba, so I stopped that and sure enough, no more dizziness (I might try it again at some point to make sure it was that and nothing else). That leaves the St. John's wort which seemed to be doing absolutely nothing.

 

I bought dolomite at one point, but thought I probably have enough calcium already, so taking in more calcium with the magnesium is pointless as they'll stay unbalanced. So I took no more of those (plus dolomite can be contaminated with lead).

 

To replace the dolomite, I bought magnesium citrate. This seems to work a tiny, tiny, tiny bit. But I'm still not sure. I can't swallow the tablets whole because they're really big so I chew them with water. This probably means they are broken down too early on or something like that. I also heard that B6 was good, so I bought some of those, but then I noticed that each tablet had 2500% of the RDA along with a note at the bottom saying 'long term intakes of amounts greater than 10mg daily of vitamin B6 may lead to mild tingling and numbness' and I've heard somewhere else that it can cause permanent neurological damage.

 

The last thing I bought was taurine. This seems to work a tiny tiny bit sometimes, but other times it seems to make me really irritable and prone to internal rage.

 

I'm fed up with things have bad effects. Everyone else seems to have either had good results or no results.

Hi Greyhound

 

honestly, for my son it has always been the correct combination of the supps he specifically needed that has helped the most.

If you have TS, then extra magnesium is a benefit and a good multivitamin should help too. then you could try adding other things one at a time for two weeks each and see. with a good multi, you should not need any extra Bs etc, only extra magnesium

 

it can also take a good couple of weeks for benefits of a supplement to show fully, altho negative effects are usually faster to spot

 

adding things for a few days and then stopping and adding others etc can sometimes throw the balance of your system out of whack.

 

ps do you have a doctor or other healthcare professional who can maybe guide you with supplementing?
