Old Lady Lighthead, I totally agree with you about vitamin deficiency. lthomas521, I would consider the thiamine, salt and licorice alternative treatments. I'm mainly interested in orthomolecular treatments... I've been trying a few thing and they have been really helping me. I've been taking ginkgo and it has helped quite a bit with dizziness and feeling like I'm going to faint. It has also helped me with energy and leg pain. I think the reason ginkgo has worked so well is because of the mode of action. If you read the pharmacology section on this webpage, it will explain it better than me. http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medica...ct02/ginkgo.htm I've also been taking B-12 shots, niacin and magnesium in addition to multivitamins. These things are all helping me, too, mainly with energy and leg pain. I really want to find something that will work for the leg pain. Everything I listed helps, but doesn't take it completely away. I've been reading about methylation here: http://www.enzymestuff.com/methylation.htm I'm pretty sure I'm over methylating, so I'm going to try taking l-histidine.
