I've been overdoing it a bit, but even with the over-doing, I'm feeling pretty good! Today I'm overcome by allergies which is driving me nuts, but for the most part, I've been functioning REALLY well for someone with fibro. Here's an idea of my daily schedule:
4:30 am - the cat wakes me up...really annoying...but I can't go back to sleep so I get up. A cup of coffee (or 2) to get things moving!
5:30 am - Morning supplements and breakfast - within 15 minutes I can't sit still - I've got energy and need to do something!
11 am/Noonish - I start dragging a little - Afternoon supplements help but I'm not nearly as energetic as the morning...I do, however, get through the afternoon much better!
4 pm - that's pretty much it for me, I can still do some things around the house and if I get good rest in the afternoon, I'll have another hour or two of descent energy but if I push myself too hard during the day, I'm toast by now.
8 pm - I'm done - I start to crash and I have to at least get into bed...I try not to take the trazodone & Lysine until 8:30 or 9 so I'm not up even earlier than I already am.
So the last few days I've way over done - especially yesterday and didn't eat well...got home at 6:30 last night, ate and went to bed. I'm a little slower today and feel a little drained, which is a good indicator that my body needs rest.
Supplements:
DHEA/Pregnenolone (10/15 mg)
L-Tyrosine 1000mg
3 packets EmergenC
500mg Niacin
800mcg Folic Acid
1 tab aspirin/1 tab ibu
Also added a little salt to boost blood pressure throughout the day as needed - don't do this unless you are certain your blood pressure is low - I tend to run really low so I'm confident that this helps without pushing me up to unsafe high levels
