For those of you in the know can you confirm that it is likely that one needs at least twice daily dosing of the MB12 and Folapro.
I have been gradually building up my doses of MB12 using both an injectable form and the Jarrow sublingual at 1000 mcg and also Folapro 800 mcg taking these first thing in the morning (in addition to the 3 Thorne Basic Nutrients I take which also contain active folates and B12). It takes till 10 am until I get some good energy through probably because I have severe adrenal insufficiency together with Hasimotos and have to take full replacement dose of steroids and thyroid meds. However I can feel quite well by 10 am but still have the problem of my energy running out after 20 minutes or so if I do physical stuff.
What has been happening in the afternoons is that I do quite well till around 3-4pm then I crash with symptoms of pain in my muscles, a strong feeling of unease, maybe dizziness and a mild headache will develop. This has been happening virtually every afternoon since I started building up with the MB12. I check my blood sugar levels but they are fine.
I take my usual dose of steroid around midday and just a tiny bit of hydrocortisone mid afternoon but I have found I have had to bring this forward by an hour since getting into the protocol.
Today it was so noticeable and I even had muscle aches which felt like detox reaction so after eating a little and taking my h/c I took another 1000 mcg MB12 sublingual and also half of Folapro plus one Neurofen for the pain. They seem to have helped and I was able to go for a walk with my dog ok hence me thinking I need them twice daily.
Finally I don't know my genetics but definitely have a problem with insufficient folate and B12 because I had a baby with a neural tube defect and also a recent Genovations MAP showed that I was insufficient in both of them. It was recommended that I also add extra P5P which I have been doing (25mg) and also B2, 100mg and B3 about 50 mg.
Thanks to Fredd, hope you soon feel better.
