I take supplements based on my understanding of what drives AN progression biologically. So I target these pathways: CXCR4, MAPK, COX2, VEGF, PAK1/AKT/mTOR, The NLRP3 inflammasome (involved in hearing damage). After watching a recent video in the Webinar library I am also now aware of TAMs and reading up on that. I choose supps after googling the way they inhibit these pathways and VS. I do short courses of helpful supplements that include: berberine, melatonin, fisetin, D3K2, sulforapane, CBD/CBN, curcumin, astaxanthin, palmitoylethanomide, fucoidan, magnesium, taurine, blueberry extract, SPM resolvins etc. I would like to add that diet is important  as is keeping stress down and prioritising sleep, light exercise, keeping weight and blood sugar and lipids under control. Supplements have their place but fillers eg can be bad for the gut so I am very careful to choose well researched brands and not take too many supplements at a time. Just as important as the brain is taking care of liver, kidneys, heart, gut, lymphatic (and glymphatic) systems.

How are you doing? I’ve been thinking a lot about how fast life moves and how easy it is to get caught in routines that leave no room for joy. That’s why I made a conscious decision to take a step back and delegate the things that were overwhelming me. One of the smartest choices I made was getting help from academized https://academized.com/blog/process-essay . It gave me time to breathe, reset, and focus on the things that actually bring me happiness.

There is nothing wrong with maintaining some hope, and you are not a moron. When your next MRI comes around, you'll be able to make the best options for yourself at that moment.

I love walking also -I try do 10 000 steps a day (dont always get there) but recently rediscovered swimming. Love it!
