MDJunction to me

"MD junction is a place for us to share our experiences both good and bad it is a safe haven from the ignorant and the doubters a place to vent ask advice or just get away from it all.
I am shell I am a parent with aspergers syndrome.
Four of my six children are autistic also.
I hope to give an insight from an autistic view." (spectrummum)

 Ok so i just went to the supermarket and picked up a bunch of supplements i've heard people take to help them function better. I got some probiotics, a magnesium supplement with calcium and vitamin d, some b-12, acidophillus, and some fish oil. I had to be careful with choosing a fish oil b/c im allergic to some fish (herring was the problem and its in most fish oils) i started taking them today and we'll see if they help and i'll let you all know.

 Welcome to the family, Alex. You mentioned that you hated the brain fog the most, and then I remembered reading about a drug for brain fog in a recent post. You might be interested in reading it for yourself. It is posted by Craig (Fletch2ya), and Provigil is the drug.

Oh, be patient with waiting for results from supplements. They take a while to work, but often you get very good results.

 thanks i'll talk to my doc about that next time i see him. if the supplements do their job hopefully i will be able to cope and not need any more meds tho, i definately think the cymbalta worsened my fibrofog for some reason, it made me very complacent with nothing so i just kinda died for a while as soon as i stopped taking the cymbalta my mind seems a bit more free and my nausea and stomach pains have subsided for the most part.

 Hi Alex I am so sorry that you are going through so much right now. Talk to your doc. Also welcome to the group it has been wonderful for me and very informative I hope things get better for you soon.


Sometimes it's hard to walk, talk, or even know what tomorrow brings. But as long as I have a smile on my face I can give a little bit of sunshine!
