    @LaDiDa I'm doing Freddd's protocol and developed very stiff muscles, so much so that I could barely walk. Magnesium citrate (and glycinate) powder stopped this so I'd obviously developed a serious deficiency. I had been taking magnesium citrate pills but obviously wasn't absorbing much of...

    Anybody else using DIY transdermal B12?

    Methyl-Folate worsened shortness of breath, anxiety, irritability

    I'm so glad my post helped @Tor! :) The sentence I've bolded really rings a bell for me because that's exactly how I've felt for years! My psychiatrists/psychologists refused to listen though. :mad: I'm not sure exactly how long I've been doing this because I didn't keep a diary at first...

    Methyl-Folate worsened shortness of breath, anxiety, irritability

    Hi @Tor :) I'm a newbie here but have been lurking for several months. I've suffered most of the symptoms you described in your first post for most of my life (I'm middle aged now) and wanted to let you know that I've found significant relief from following @Freddd's active B12 protocol (found...
