Experiences with

Atabrine

I have had quite bad rls for the last two years and over time, very little sleep. However I have tried to persevere without drugs, although my GP has prescribed low dose codeine (15mg) which helped at first but I now try not to take. My rls is currently much better. It hasn’t gone away but it’s sort

I have not been diagnosed with PD. I have REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, a sore left shoulder and sore left leg, random twitching, and depression. 1. Follow the Solar Cycle: I get up when the sun comes up. Got to bed no later than 11:30 PM. Wear blue blockers after 8 PM. (due to depression and crappy

Parkinson’s Disease After AD, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive motor deterioration

Lithium Orotate for Depression and more? So I was watching this video on lithium orotate (still looking to get past my depression) and was amazed at the way he says lithium works in the brain. Lithium clears glutamate? Anybody up for lowering inflammation? Boosting neuroplasticity? And then he starts

Adrenal hormones, sex hormones, and neurotransmitters are functionally interrelated. Changes in sex hormones and adrenal hormones can lead to neurotransmitter imbalances. In turn, neurotransmitter imbalances can affect hormone function. The following tests are recommended to establish your baseline.

You all are so much stronger than I am. Or maybe you are living your lives instead of obsessing over things that can't be changed. I know I got carried away with supplements, but no more. It is just too much. (for those unfamiliar, I have not been diagnosed with PD. I have REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Just a quick post. With magnesium being championed as the mineral of choice for us afibers, I was shocked to see that magnesium contraindicates with warfarin and can increase the risk of bleeding? Interestingly I’ve noticed my INR has fallen not risen since taking magnesium? Then again I take taurine

This review is prompted by a new paper: "Methionine Restriction: Ready for Prime Time in the Cancer Clinic?" [1] "Methionine ... is an essential amino acid in humans. As the substrate for other amino acids such as cysteine and taurine, versatile compounds such as SAM-e, and the important antioxidant

So this is my latest stack. I think I have a good list now. Now it is time to fine tune it. Get the dosages and timing right. Will any of it help? I hope so. I have not been diagnosed with PD. I have been diagnosed with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (with other troubling symptoms). I still have a sore

I've had A Fib for 5 years. I had an unsuccessful ablation about 2 years ago. About 6 months ago I started taking a daily supplement of magnesium taurine & another of Vitamin C. I had read that either of these can be helpful with AF I've taken them consistently & to my surprise my episodes of A fib

I’ve deduced I have vagal Afib as all my episodes occur without fail late evening after eating or early morning waking me from my sleep. I take 1.25mg Bisoprolol daily and 50 to 100mg of Flecainide as a pill in pocket. The Flecainide stops Afib in its track usually within one to two hours but I find

I'm one of those guys that does not like to be told how to do things. I don't much pay attention to whether a supplement bottle says to take something with food or on an empty stomach. How much of a difference can it make? Turns out, it can make a LOT of difference. VPN is well absorbed from small intestine

Quick update.....stopped flecainide and reduced verapamil. Feeling good and no afib, no SVT. Surprisingly blood pressure which was always good dropped (now 107/68), but Verapamil is meant to lower blood pressure. go figure. Only change I have made recently other than meds is use of taurine (close to

I had catheter ablation for supraventricular Tachycardia in March and second one in June. Was told 2nd ablation would fix me, as the Electrophysiologist now knew what to do/where to ablate and would use special mapping equipment and higher powered catheters. He ablated SVT site and found a Flutter site

Is Taurine good to take if you have afib?

Hi all, can I ask if anyone is using Taurine to help with Afib/ anxiety ?

I was looking for taurine for sleep at local chemist shop but right now it's available only in combination with acetylcysteine. Is that ok to try for sleep without aggravating RLS?

Sept. 7, 2021: I’m adding this preface. Thank you for your responses! I did not anticipate this! Please do not have expectations of my efforts culminating in anything that is not very basic, already known by most people on this forum, or more than what is easily accessible on the internet. I use

Yes, I am kind of spitballing here. Could resetting the circadian rhythm help with PD?
