Congratulations! Kathie makes a great point and one I cannot offer advice. That is that those of you trying NADH might need to 'fine tune' other meds as well as the exact dose of NADH. Jeff and I are hopeful we see this kind of message from everyone trying NADH. It's a battle, not the war but it makes the wait a little easier. Best to everyone, Lisa Carper >Howdy all from the sunny Southwest! Winter has finally arrived, we can tell >because it's finally dropped below 90*. I have run the race with NADH, and >finally have some good news to report! I feel GREAT!!! > >I have hung in there for three weeks now, through a sleep deprivation >marathon that I thought would never end. I seem to be the only one that gets >that yummy side-effect. The first real plus for me was about 1 1/2 weeks >into it, I realized that I wasn't suffering with Restless Legs as I wandered >the house all night. Next I realized that my dyskenesia had diminished, and >that I was not doing the "bobbing" around in the off to on state.
