Thank you Jeanie.. I will certainly try dandelion tea. For me, fatigue is a major part of my ataxia and juggling exercise, domestic chores and getting outside is very difficult. Adrenaline is great of course but there is always the 'drop' !! I cant use caffeine as it causes bladder urgency. The only option is too pace myself. xx ---

The thyroid/sea salt thing is of special interest to me. Thank you. I also heard of oat straw extract helping to fight fatigue - have you heard of this? ---

I haven't heard of Oat straw extract before. I'll have to investigate that and find out more information about it. Thanks!

Fatigue is a major part of my ataxia also. Bummer isn't it? I can handle walking strange and the other things but being tired all the time gets old, or should I saw it did along time ago. I'm trying to attack this as natural as I can but I'm almost wiling to do anything about it now! :0) Hope the tea helps you. Patsy said: > Thank you Jeanie..

I'm glad you posted this here. I went GF in 2007 and it's helped allot. My thought is every bit I can do to help myself add up. Even though in itself it's not a cure. What ever works right? :0) I was tested and told I wasn't gluten intolerant but follow going GF anyway. My Dr. said it's like having a guarantee that I will absorb all my vit and minerals from what I eat and since I closely monitor what I eat I want to absorb everything I can so it's not a waist.

Thanks Jeannie for posting this. I have Sensory Ataxia and I find fatigue a big thing (mind you I am 83) - my Ataxia only started 6 years ago. Cheers for now, Doug Smith, Bristol, England ---
