Are you currently taking any vitamins and/or supplements to treat your Dysautonomia symptoms?  Elaborate, or discuss your response below if you will like.

I am vitamin D deficient, have on/off low potassium, low ferritin, low B12 and my folic acid levels have recently rose.  Funny enough.......none of these are being treated!!!!!

I had one B12 injection just before my 'crash' and was on iron and folic acid.  I was diagnosed having celiac disease in may '09 so I think maybe they are seeing if a gluten free diet improves these levels now......time will tell I suppose.

Like Heiferly, I also take prescription potassium.  Other vitamins/supplements I take are:

"MITO" Cocktail (recommended by one of my neurologists)
- CoQ10 30MG daily
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine 250MG 2x daily
- Vitamin B-50 Complex daily
- Vitamin C 250MG 2x daily
(up to 1000MG daily when sick)
- Vitamin E 200IU daily

I also take a chewable multivitamin when I remember, but lately I've been forgetting to take it.
