I had started drinking gator aid for the electrolytes and that helped so I drink it first thing ( well after my coffee ) in the morning and it has helped me to feel better during that day. I also drink alot of water. ( alot )

He also told me to start taking ginseng I plan on getting it the next time I get out hopefully tomorrow.

Has anyone taken Ginseng? Did it work for fatigue? I think it is suppose to work for memory too. I hope so LOL.

So just trying to get through all of this. Keep fighting everyone!!!

Prayers to all

Kay

    For Tufi000

    Hi,

    I take potassium and magnesium supplements too.  I am not sure my memory is better (lol) but I do know I feel better taking the drug.  My potassium level often goes below the low side of the range and so I do need it.  Magnesium, I once drop and went right back as I did feel better.

     

    Best to you,

     

    Doris

    For Kay

    Been reading all your posts and glad your getting a handle on this problem.  I've heard about Ginseng but never paid much attention to it.

     

    Water is always good, washes out the toxics I believe.

     

    Best to you,

    So happy for you Kay!

    I'm glad something as simple as electrolites are making a difference for you.  If you get tired of Gatoraid, Smart Water also has electrolites.  I'm curious to hear about the ginsing when you try it.

     

    Hugs,

    Linda
