Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 In me the Threonine (different from Theonine) reduces the stiffness so it is hardly noticeable. I take that, L-theanine (green tea extract) and magnesium to stop the spasms. Anti-spasm Drugs such as backlofen weaken the muscles. For arthritis I take 6 grams of Lysine, 6 grams of C crystals on an empty stomache. Taking a lesser amount of Lysine will be completely ineffective though I hear you can reduce the Lysine after, and only after, improvement.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 These are all amino acids, yes? Any info on research on autoimmune d/o and aminos?

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi Lydia and all, I am going to give the Threonine a try for my leg stiffness. Lydia, can you tell us if you break up the 6grams throughout the day, or do you take it all at once? I have been taking Xanax to reduce the stiffness in my leg. I know this is a terrible solution, but the stiffness is so distressing, and I have found that the Xanax has been the only thing to relieve it. So anyway, I am looking forward to giving the Threonine a try. I hope I get the same results Lydia did. I don't have spasms, but I do have the stiffness/hug mostly on my lower right leg and sometimes on my lower right arm. Some symptom relief without the Xanax would be great. > > In me the Threonine (different from Theonine) reduces the stiffness so > it is hardly noticeable.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Lydia, I think I am going to try it too and see what happens.... how do you take the threonine? 6gr one dosis? with or without food/ any time of the day in particular?
