Sunday supplements and some saving grace

I took my Provigil today and it's working after not having taken it for weeks, getting more sleep, and not working at work so much. Good thing as I am finishing up sick bank leave stuff and things sound so much better today than yesterday. Plus, the sun is out and I am allowing it to shine on me because it's in the 40s out there so I am not overheating like I do in the summer.

My dad was in the emergency room for an emergency but now he is out. Thank you someone upstairs, and I don't mean the Indian couple with the son who seems to enjoy jumping rope repeatedly for hours indoors on my ceiling.

The paper work for the leave seems to be coming together okay now or at least I feel better about it. I have some compiling of papers to do today and then I should be good to go with those packets at the crack of dawn when I drive those plans in.

My kiddos at work have a state test in Social Studies in a few weeks so it's been rather challenging to try and get them prepared when it's not me doing the preparing. I'm a bit of a control freak about those d@mn state tests. But, I am learning to let some things go....

Which brings me to Sunday supplements!

Does anyone out there feel safe in telling me any non-MS meds you're taking, such as vitamins and supplements? I'd love to read what others are into as I am exploring all this new territory.

My freshman college roommate takes some different things: D3 at 10,000 IU daily, Quercetin 1,000 mg daily, Omega 3 fish oils 4,000 mg daily, and a multivitamin.

I am exploring the Quercetin and Omega 3 as a possible addition to my regimen of MS goodies. I currently take D3 2,000 IU daily (plus a once weekly 50,000 IU pill for the next 7 weeks), a multivitamin and some extra calcium.

Quercetin is a strong antioxidant (I think, I'm not sure) and I saw it advertised on my hotmail with Lance Armstrong and this product FRS that has quercetin as its main ingredient. Lance is out of retirement and training again for the Tour de France and he has a rocking body and he trains hard. I know its got to be clean if he's taking it but I suspect this is pricey as I didn't see it at Wal-Mart in just the quercetin form when I looked for it last week.

Anyone care to share what extra supplements they're taking and if they think they're working?

I'd appreciate any info you care to share. I so want my life back and I want to build up my strength so I can slowly run again and shake this fat off of me. Plus, I want to be an awesome teacher again who has tons of energy and enthusiasm. I want to be the me I was pre-MS!
