Hey Lao,
So soon after my last post to you, I did a little research on Charcot Marie Tooth. After reading about the symptoms I was convinced that I did not have this. When I saw the neurologist he seemed to agree. He wasn't quite sure what to make of my symptoms, though he has not ruled out the possibility of some autoimmune disease. He is going to do an EMG to determine if I have any nerve damage. This will tell him if any of my problems are nerve related. I know it's going to be positive for nerve damage, I tested positive 2 years ago when another neurologist conducted the same test. I'm a bit frustrated, he did not think my sciatic nerve is the cause of my sore and constantly fasciculating calve muscle-the last neurologis(a very good one) believed it was my sciatic nerve. He also didn't have an answer for the fatigue. I'm going in for some blood tests tomorrow that he ordered and I will see him in a few weeks for the EMG. At this time I will ask him to refer me to a good rheumatologist, no matter what he thinks is going on with me. I have also suspected MS or some form of sclerosis. If I have some kind of MS, it is relapsing-remitting with a very slow progression. I don't think I have MS though. This is why I want to see a rheumatologist.
I am also going to see a Lyme specialist, I just do not trust the tests.
I really hope you can quit smoking soon. Even if it takes 5 years it's better than never. The only problem with quitting is that smoking may be medicating you some, at least that would be my concern. What do you think about trying selegiline? Do you think your doctor would go for that? It may help you quit and it could make you feel a bit better.
As far as energy for working out is concerned, I think you might benefit from Schisandra. I also think you might like the feeling of a good dose of Cordyceps. I tried 4 grams the last two days and I think I really noticed a difference, I actually felt like working out. Have you experimented with medicinal mushrooms like Cordyceps or Reishi(this may also help you feel better).
Start exercising you will feel better, and it may help you quit smoking!
Be well brotha,
Morgan
