Hi
I have been suffering from CFS for 15 years. Lots of recent stress and lack of sleep gave me horrible peripheral neuropathy. Tingling, burning, crawling etc....
This is the first time I have been analysing my own blood tests, rather than just listening to the doctor who has probably given up.
The B12 test result was 300. In the range of 200-900 seems on the lower side of fine.
I have a high MCV, which increased from 100 to 102.7 in 6 weeks, slightly high MCH of 33.6 and a normal MCHC which decreased from 34 to 32.7 in 6 weeks.
I read that high MCV and normal MCHC can be indicative of pernicious anaemia/ b12 deficiency... What do you think?
So I have started, 3 days ago (on top of Vit C/A/E/D, Sel, zinc, magnesium, omega3 and garlic)
Alpha Lip Acid 2x250, Methycobalamin 4000 + 2000 cyno, and Methyfolate 400 mcg
I am taking the high dose vit C and zinc well inbetween my doses of MethylB12 (as i read i should)
Eating plenty of bananas and dried apricots to supplement potassium .
No ill effects so far. Energy seems a bit better.
a - I hope I have no irreversible damage.
b- I hope I can really benefit from these supplements
By the way.. I love you all... this site is amazing
