I think there is a link here which is why I brought up my experience with aGPC. I think those temporary good effects I got on B1 was via increase in acetylcholine. I should note though I think my body is deliberately keeping me in a sympathetic state in order to keep blood flow going. When I took the B1 I felt more relaxed however my heart rate increased significantly to compensate.Acetylcholine can't happen without thiamine. A person's thiamine can become deficient and its function can also get blocked.
I had a similar experience when I had acupuncture done. When I got up to leave and go to the bus, my heart rate went up massively, fastest its ever gone in my life, couldn't even count the beats. When I got home, sat down, put my feet up, I felt very relaxed in a way that is super rare for me (probably due to been kept in sympathetic dominance to help blood flow).
Perhaps this is the factor that is overriding my response to thiamine. I make more acetylcholine, this leads to relaxation of brain and blood vessels, which means my heart then has to struggle to keep the blood flowing, my autonomic system then accounts for this and decreases parasympathetic and I'm back to square one.
It would seem I would need to deal with the root problem of what is causing poor blood flow. But thats the big question.
Regardless, I'll take 2g of thiamine either tonight or tomorrow in honor of mostlylurking. I haven't taken it in half a year or so, so maybe I can have some small benefits for a day or 2.
