Hi! Thanks for responding, Larry and Jeff.Larry, it sounds from your resonses to many things that have been posted that you might have some medical/chemistry/pharmaceutical expertise. It is frustrating to me that my own availability to relevant research materials and the experiences of my own colleaques still have not led me to answers I need to so many of my questions. Maybe in the future you might be able to answer some of the other questions I have. Jeff, thank you so much for sharing the fact that you can tolerate fish oil capsules. They are inexpensive as Larry noted, but losing 3 days in clinic while I hang out at home in the bathroom, and/or a trip to the ER, or knocking out on benadryl depending on which reaction I am having is problematic. I am also trying to find a source of CoEnzyme-Q that doesn't have additives I cannot tolerate. Have you ever checked the prices of that supplement Larry? It adds up fast when my neuromuscular specialist wants me to be taking 1 - 3 grams daily, while the highest supplement I can find is 400 mg. I have to add that to the meds for MS, colitis, macular degeneration, narcolepsy, depression, allergies, plus I get to throw in some estrogen. If you know of an inexpensive source for the Co-Q, please let me know. If it could help with just one of these conditions, including the MAD, it would be worth any price! But again, continually paying for meds and such that I discover I cannot tolerate adds up fast! Fortunately my insurance coverage is excellent, but it doesn't cover supplements.
Again, thanks for any info - please excuse any typos. I'm more used to dictating, than typing!Mary
