probably nothing. maybe, a job

maybe we'll see.

weird, i'm sure i saw a study today suggesting those being treated do better than those who don't. there's always correlation to consider, of course. i won't bother linking to it, i'm sure you're also capable of finding research.

any input from recent/newer members?

questions re vast majority: where is that number from, how was doing really well assessed and of those doing really well, what are the proportions of those who are or are not using meds.

imho it's not a good idea to do nothing about it. but the nature of the action taken is certainly up to you. re meds, various neuros over time have not managed to convince me to date. if i don't take care of myself though, i pay the price. you can always read up on what's suggested, if you haven't a...

hi jerry so far, me. dxd early in 06.

lol pretty sure i started and finished with nutrition talk but glad u enjoyed regardless

hi robbie re discipline, in the food dept it definitely has varied over time. right now yes i'm eating carefully, plus once a week i fill up a mon-fri vit/min dosette and leave it out in plain view where i'll see it every time i have any food or fluids. re exercise not so much - lately the pool is b...

glad to see attention to nutrient status gives you some relief anon when george ended his life a few years ago now, he was bedridden, wracked with spasticity and his serum mag level was 0.66 mg/dl. he was taking some magnesium daily, but it wasn't enough, and probably wasn't timed right either, to h...

good find. on the future interventions note, i have learned since the knee reconstruction how important the glutes are for gait on stairs in particular. i'd had no idea.

one example: Alcohol Intake Correlated with Serum Trace Elements (1988) https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/article-abstract/23/4/279/198897 Among males alcohol intake per drinking day correlated ... negatively with serum ... magnesium (r = 0.40; P < 0.01). Acute effects of alcohol ingestion on the huma...

could be worth seeing what if anything could still be reversible. or just mitigating the nutrient hit you take via smoking and drinking if nothing else.

heya robbie, can we assume all this trouble is in the context of tip top high normal healthy controls nutrient levels?
if memory serves you had no interest that kind of investigation a decade ago but i wonder if you've ruled out essential nutrient contributions to your condition at any point since?
