Hello fellow alternative Babblers,
The pterostilbene that I was taking seems to have stopped doing what it was doing for my energy and concentration, and I've decided to start another vitamin D3 trial because I don't seem to have any other reasonable treatment options for my chronic fatigue and hypersomnia. Even if the vitamin D3 doesn't end up reducing the severity of my hypersomnia (or if it seems to make my hypersomnia worse, like it did last time), maybe it will at least reduce the severity of my fatigue if I stay on it for longer.
I'm at the point where not only have I tried every medication option for my chronic fatigue that I think is worth trying, but I've also tried every supplement option that I think is worth trying. I feel like one of the only options with any chance of producing some improvements is to give vitamin D3 more time to work, so that's what I'm going to do.
As of tonight, I'm taking 1,200 IU of vitamin D3, and I plan on slowly increasing my dose until I get to 5,000 IU. Then, if all goes well, I'll likely stay at that dose for at least six months. I plan on posting updates from time to time.
