So the biggest thing I had to figured out was all my allegeries. Fragrance is the biggest one, its in everything and I can't be around it at all. It took 6 months to get rid of all of it and is a constant effort to keep out of my living space. I have met multiple other people who has this same allergy. Cutting gluten out of my diet also helped a lot. HEPA 13 air purifiers are a must. And these are the meds I'm currently on: Gabapentin 300mgx3 daily ALA 300mgx3 daily Tumeric 500mgx3 daily Benadryl liquid gels 25mgx3 daily Loratadine 10mgx1 daily Azelastine HCI 205.5 mcg spray 4 times daily Probotics 1x daily Bio-identical hormones to correct hormone imbalance I smoke tar free cigarettes for brain fog and nausea Microdose of psilocybin 400mg of fungal material 4 times a week for migraines and brain fog. Let me know if you have any questions. I know how awful it feels to have this with no end in sight.

Being a coenzym in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha lipoic acid seems to be a good way to booster mitochondrial function. Sounds interesting. Thank you.
