No.

I was taking 250mg twice a day of adrenal cortex extract, plus

licorice, 30 mg of pregnenolone twice a day and a long list of other

things. With that I was able to get of bed, dress my son and take him

to school. That was all.

I am on my 5th day of Isocort and my energy is higher than usual, I

have been able to do a lot (for me) this week. But I am afraid I may

crash and I tend to improve a little very quickly with new supplemnts

and therapies and then they go nowhere and I am back to looking at my

fatigue.

5 days is not enough and by now I am more sceptical about cures for

me, I have battled this for many years, but I feel the difference.

And it is important to me to listen to others who have had the same

symptoms and see what they have done that helps. This is better than

keep on trying partially useless therapies or take my doctors

prognosys face value!

I am sorry you were taking 600mg of ALA once a day! I would have a

lot of hope that the damage would be reversible.
