Hi everyone,
About three weeks ago I started the Rich Van Konynenburg protocol, and I have the feeling I'm doing something wrong. Either I'm taking the supplements the wrong way (or at the wrong times of the day), or one of the supplements is making me sicker. There's also a possibility that one or more of these supplements could have a bad interaction with the medications I'm taking for ME/CFS and lyme (several types of ABX, anti-virals, etc).
Since I started the methylation protocol, I have been feeling sicker, more tired and "out of it" than before.
I take the supplements in the morning with breakfast. A couple of hours later my energy levels come down severely, and I feel like my breathing slows down, becomes labored, like I have to breathe deeper to function. The brain fog surges to seriously disabling levels, and I even start slurring my speech. It got me worried.
I stopped the methylation process last Friday to see if I noticed a difference. I also stopped all the medications for that day, to give my body a break. The next day I felt better already, which indicates to me that something in the protocol is not sitting well with me.
Yesterday I started taking the supplements again, one at a time, to see if I can identify which one is the one that's making me so exhausted. Not sure which one it is yet. It may be a specific combination, or it could be a bad interaction with the many prescriptions I have to take. I will take notes and see if there's a pattern to identify the culprit.
Can't emphasize enough how nauseous, brain-fogged and tired the methylation made me. Need to figure out why.
I would appreciate it if anyone that experienced something similar could put me on the right direction. Paging @caledonia, @taniaaust1, @Valentijn, @Martial, @Helen.
