Awesome. Thanks so much for your reply. I have just started taking parasym and glad you mention you could feel it wearing off in the day because I am somewhat wondering if that might be what I might be feeling later in the day after taking in morning. Thanks for that info would not have even thought of that. So how did you start taking it when you first started? Is there any concern on taking this to late in the day (main thing is don’t want to take anything unknowingly that keeps me up at night). I am so encouraged and excited about taking Parasym. The mental Clarity as be a huge area that seems to keep getting worse.
(to give you alittle background on my health journey. I am 36 years old and POTS symptoms started for me at age 20years old while in college–at that that time I was incredibly active playing college tennis. At that time of course I have know idea what was going on just very fatigue and stomach issues. Over the next 16 years I have struggled with overwhelming fatigue, severe stomach issues(constipation from 2004-2011 did not have a bowl movement without an enema–that is getting better though), chronic constant neck pain… just to name a few. I have not been able to work consistently or really quite honestly just day to day activities. 6 years ago was the first time a doctor finally recognized and had any knowledge about autonomic issue and POTS. First time a doctor took my pulse laying, sitting, standing. Since then POTS and EhlersDahnos/hypermobility has been diagnosed. And I saw Dr Grubb, in Ohio a year ago and he felt the hypermobility is the cause of my POTS. He prescribed wellbutrin(which helped at first but after a month or so i seem to get alot of negative side effects and have to stop taking. (I have tried twice to restart but same thing happens) I do believe that hypermobilty actually might be the cause of my POTS (especially because compression hose waist high help me tremendously) but I have not heard much on thing that help hypermobility. I have been very encouraged by your website I have learned about mast cell and was able to speak with my doctor about this and she prescribed Cromlyn(gastrcrom) and that has HELPED ALOT!!!
I am very excited about this Parasym Plus. Thank you Thank you for your continued research and awareness of these conditions and continue research for helping our quality of life. Many blessing to you and your family. :)Lauren
