OK, so I'm going to post what my naturopath suggested trying but with the disclaimer - I'm not recommending these, I haven't tried them and I'm not a doctor. If you want to try them, it's your responsibility to check them and consult your doctor first.
PPMP
= potassium phosphate - 20mg
+ magnesium phosphate - 45mg
2 x 3 per day
she says its a neuromuscular activator
Omega 3
High EPA ones - 1200mg EPA
She says it assists the neural sheath and is an anti-inflammatory
Gingko Biloba
good for peripheral circulation
200mg - 4000mg
but she warns it's contraindicated with some medications and caution in pregnancy
Hypericum perforatum (St John's Wort)
again - contraindicated with medications and can have side effects - this is definitely one to be careful with, even though it's over the counter. I can't take it as it gives me nightmares and affects my mood severely.
So that disclaimer again - I'm not recommending you take these. I've posted them as things you might want to research for yourself and then check with your doctor before you take them, because they've been suggested to me. In particular remember - just because things are over the counter or 'natural' in the sense that they're herbal, doesn't mean they're neutral or only have good effects, so be careful and get proper advice first.

Hi Jane
ReplyDeletesorry I accidentally rejected your comment.
So far I haven't tried any of them because I'm pregnant and seeing if I can cope without. But I'm going to try the PPMP soon as it's safe. Also my doc says my metallic taste is to do with pregnancy, not a relapse. Fingers crossed he's right.
You might be able to get it as separate parts. Otherwise it's made by Blackmores in Australia if you could get someone to send it to you.
Hope you're feeling ok.
