New protocol thanks to Freddd--going off hydroxy B12, starting methyl B12

[grapes]

Glad to hear the mould treatment is helping you Grapes. I'm still trying with the methylation supplements, albeit low doses. However, I started a new job 3 months ago and found that quite draining so it's hard to say how I would feel otherwise. I don't deal with stress well and it's a big influence on my symptoms so I'm trying to improve that with meditation CDs and Cranio-sacral therapy.

Have you done a 24 hour adrenal saliva test?

No, I haven't. It's really expensive to get any tests here in the UK. They have a standard batch of "tiredness" tests, eg b12, iron, thyroid, liver function. Anything else you have to go private and pay through the nose. I'm not in a position to do that, working part-time in a low paid job. We get a lot on the NHS, paid for through taxes, but for CFS/ME the system is a total failure. I get sessions with a psychologist which do nothing and that's it!

@grapes
I am intrigued by the references to glutathione in this thread. I have what appears to be a shortage of adenoB12. I find NAC is sometimes very useful. Of course, one of it's actions is to raise glutathione

I thought you might cover this in your posts here but, I have to be honest, I got truly submerged by details before I had read half a dozen of the early posts!

So can I ask, what benefit or problems do you get from NAC and do you believe them to be a result of its glutathione action? I am specifically interested in how NAC may help adenoB12 shortage rather than methylB12.
