Sam-E

I read the topic on supplements and thought it was very good. I have a question for the people taking Sam-E and had improvement. What dosage are you taking? I am currently taking it (along with others ) and wonder should I be taking a higher dose for better results. I've had some improvement but feel it could be more.

Thanks,
Sue

Hi Sue,

I've been taking SAMe for over a month with fantastic results. I take 400mg/day first thing in the morning. I eat 30 minutes later and take multivitamin, b-complex, zinc and a tums.

Before SAMe I was sedentary, I couldn't even go shopping once a week with my husband. Since I've been taking it I've gone shopping, played outside with the baby (3 yr old), and even started an exercise regimen again.

I went to WEB MD and read about SaM-E the pros and cons, you might want to take the time and read the article they have on their site.

IF you click on all the links about SAM-e it talks of pros, cons and precautions, plus interactions with other drugs. It does give dosage for those with fibro and other medical conditions.

Let us know how it worked for you but read precautions first if you are taking any type meds

I noticed my mood improve within 24 hours the rest (pain, fatigue, fog, etc.) seemed to improve a little each day but by a week all the positive benefits were obvious.

Sam-e is a wonder drug. Or hormone precursor/enhancer. Like the fountain of youth in a yellow pill.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
