    Help with Methylation Profile Please

    Thanks again - I'm already taking methylfolate and will look into GAPS and ketogenic. It all feels a bit like Pandora's box at the moment - I look into one thing and find something else. I just wish that all this info had been around when I was initially diagnosed with CFS in 2002. I'm still...

    Help with Methylation Profile Please

    It does Aerose91 - thank you! I'm currently taking hydroxo-B12 by injection and methyl-B12 by sublingual which seems to have helped quite a bit. Luckily my circadian rhythms are good (one thing less to worry about) but I'm working on improving my sleep (get enough but the quality isn't great)...

    Help with Methylation Profile Please

    I wondered if someone could possibly give some advice on my methylation profile please. I'm currently supplementing B12 and D3 but not getting quite the results I'd hoped for with the B12 after 3 months and suspect it's something to do with these results, but am struggling to get my head around...

    Help with Cortisol Saliva Test Results

    Help with Cortisol Saliva Test Results

    The one thing I have gathered over the last six weeks or so is that the whole thing is tricky and everything really has to be done one step at a time and nice and slowly to aim for a sustainable recovery and optimal result. I'm pleased with progress so far (even if I would like it to be...

    Help with Cortisol Saliva Test Results

    Many thanks drob. I'm right at the beginning of my discovery so the thyroid bloods and this cortisol test are the first that I've had done. I'm due to see the endocrinologist in a week's time, but am not hopeful of getting any proper help from the NHS, plus after my bad experiences in trying...

    Help with Cortisol Saliva Test Results

    I've been struggling with numerous symptoms over the last couple of months and had blood tests to determine my thyroid status, which showed high levels of antibodies, so seems like autoimmune thyroiditis. I've now had my adrenal stress profile results back from Genova as I wanted to check my...
