Ayone tried mitochondrial "super" vitamins or PQQ with CoQ10 for energy and less pain?

When I first started Acetyl-l-carnitine and NAC, I had a marked increase in energy.

I've been taking CoQ10 for so long that I can't remember what I might have noticed. I am taking triple the dose that I used to take (per Dr B's suggestions in his Diagnostic Hints, etc.) and I'm sure to take the ubiquinol form (more readily absorbed).

Supporting our mitochondria just makes sense to me for us Lymies.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) from : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrroloquinoline_quinone

CoQ10 works better when pared with PQQ, I was told. Its not a vitamin.

You can Google mitochondria vitamins. The ratios are different and are specifically for supporting mitochondria issues. They have some ammino acids, Acetyl-l-carnitine and other stuff mixed in as well.

MITOCORE is one brand.

My Succinic Acid level is not even readable, this is needed for mitochondrial and ATP production. I guess you cant just take Succinic Acid for Mitochondria issues, that would be easy though.

This new to me, one more thing to study, when all I want to do is nap on the couch.

So I'm exited to give some mitochondria suppliments a try, but I just started a new suppliment for a genetic mutation. So far non of my treating genetic mutations have worked and this Mitochonria myopothy might be the great umbrella causing my symptoms.

The so called "post lyme disease syndrome" might actually exist in some people as damaged mitochondria. There is little on this related subject.

Girlie, well, for now I'm done with ABX treatment. My LLMD and another Dr (Functional Medicine) both think I'm dealing with the leftovers, the after math of possibly what the bugs did to my body.

I have fatigue, and muscle / soft tissue recovery issues. I'm weak where it hurts- and thats always changing. I think I have had some muscle wasting. Last January I had muscle mobility, loss of motor skills issues, I started to lose control and movement of my arms, that was freaky.

I was treated off and on for 16 months - four different ABX.

Mitochondrial damage supposedly cant be repaired, but can be treated on going with specific suppliments, so this is my next step.

From what I understand if you have Mitochondrial myopathy, treating genetic mutations will most likely be be unsuccessful. But treating the Mito might result in symptoms relief that were though to be caused my the mutations.

All I really want is a re-set button!!

I just received PQQ and took it yesterday for the first time, 20 mg or mcg, can't remember. It definitely helped with energy. This heaviness in my brain felt like it was lifted. Just had this feeling of lightness as I did when I was younger. The most result I've gotten than any other supplement I've taken. I did get very tired later in the day and feel that adding 10 mg around 4-5pm would help to retain energy for the remainder of the day. Right now I take 50mg of Coq10 but will order a higher dose. The studies show that 200-300 of Coq10 with PQQ gives good results. I'm so happy I came across this supplement. I hope I continue to have the benefit from it as I did yesterday. It also seemed like I had less muscle pain too... It's supposed to help with the immune system also. I really hope it makes a difference in my fight with Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia, or at least help me function better on a daily basis.

I was taking Samento and Banderol for a while and stopped taking them about a month or two ago. My energy had been quite bad. 3 days ago I started taking them again and have felt better. More energy and focus. Didn't realize how much of an impact these two herbs were having. I'm taking a low dose and will titrate. No herxing for now just an immunity boost that helps me function better.
