I am right there with you Sonnet! every word you said! it has been
exactly the same way for me! from the moment i first took it --even at
500 mg -- I felt a difference. it's great! i got all happy and friendly
to pple and believe me, that is not me! (or hasnt been for the past
several years) I also feel like i can focus on things more. Like.. like
i can grasp a whole project or problem at once in my head instead of
having to keep remininding myself what every little bit is. Perfect
analogy is getting a larger computer screen. Now i can see everything
on the desktop without having to scroll around! haha
p.s am currently on 1500 mg gluc./day
