Hi Rich,
I have had what appears to be CFS symptoms for about two years now. Mine was a gradual onset during a period of stress. I am not as severe as most people here. I've never been bed bound and can partake in most daily activities - but greatly reduced and I cannot exercise. I am probably a 50 or 60 on the Bell scale.
I am interested in following the methylation protocol and had some questions for you.
1. I've already started taking hydroxocobalamin and methylfolate. At first I experienced some symptoms, but they quickly went away. I actually don't feel much different when taking these supplements, even in higher amounts like 4 or 5 mg of methylfolate. I have not yet added the folinic acid because I don't have it at the moment. Is it likely that I have a methylation problem? I definately react to methycobalamin. If I don't feel anything on the protocol, should I switch the hydroxo to methylcobalamin?
2. How important is it to get the Methylation Pathway Panel? Could a specific treatment plan be tailored based the results of this test? What other tests do you recommend be run?
3. How many people are you aware of that have recovered through methylation treatment?
Thanks for all your work
