With all the neurological issues from radiation I tend to steer away from all meds, supplements, etc. Trying to address everything through diet but the muscle atrophy is keeping me concerned. Hard to not think about it when you can't swallow or breathe well. Anything that will build muscle is game for me right now although I am feeling quite sleek in this new slimmed down Ed v2.0.
