I got some fish oil for him but he had a terrible time belching with it. He had such a bad time with the fish oil it now is given to the dog--she's doing great. I take the cod liver oil and don't have a real problem. Will try and get the Ginseng. He told me he wasn't going to have to eat carbohydrates because of all the calories from gel capsules he was getting. He's not a good pill taker. He said he's afraid I'm going to get things out of balance with selective vitamins. I try to make sure he is getting a balanced diet. He's been very melon hungry and have had that on hand for snacking.

It's possible that the surgery itself and or the anesthetic used had some type of debilitating effect on his nerves and/or muscles and/or brain cells. This should get better with time... many months would be my guess. Acupuncture might be of benefit both short and long term as it is a direct stimulant/relaxant to the nervous system. It also regulates the production of endorphins and enkephalins, hormones produced by the pituitary gland that regulate pain thresholds and other things in our bodies. Giving him notoginseng (Siberian Ginseng) might be of benefit as it helps increase oxygen uptake by our rbc's. Fish oil and R Lipoic acid have been shown to stimulate peripheral nerve regeneration and reduce neural inflammation. Make sure he is on a healthful diet too, low in sugar and acids. Bob
