thanx for the reply bex. I must say I am still doing real well on the ALA, moved up to taking about 40mg every three hours now and still feeling good. No real ill effects as of yet! Improvements I have seen have included:

- Better eye sight
- Fingernails look better
- Hair and skin better, less redness and irritation
- Mentally I feel a lot more clear and connected to what is going on around me, I was actually happy in a social situation today!
- Slept so much better last night and woke up less depressed and easier to get outta bed.
- I may be mistaken but mentally things seem to be going back to the way I was when I was little, as in a view things differently but in a positive way, thought processes more positive.
- concentration better, but still can't concentrate when anxiety is present.
-pounding heart seems to have gotten better, don't notice it as much.

Still trying not to get excited cause I know these things can come and go, will keep you posted..
