Thank you all
I was not wanting to treat the CBS first, but it seemed like that was what I "was supposed to do". I don't have a problem with eggs. I eat them every day. I did order the sulfate strips to rule it out completely. As long as I don't have problems with eggs, broccoli or fatigue.
Heartfixer says “Laboratory findings consist of an elevated urine sulfate level, a low or low normal blood homocysteine level, an elevated or high normal blood ammonia level, and positive findings of ammonia, sulfite, or sulfite upon Asyra testing. My initial observation is that individuals with high heavy metal burdens upon provocative challenge testing are likely to be CBS positive. CBS (+) individuals will be intolerant to sulfur containing drugs, nutritionals, and foodstuffs (I am +/- for CBS A360A and cannot tolerate DMPS or glucosamine sulfate. A cold beer tastes great but I do not like wine, which is high in sulfite).”
I have high homocysteine (tested last spring – 9.6 nmol/mL) (in the fall it was 13.5 Umol/L). Is that an indicator that CBS is not a problem and that I can’t start methylfolate and b12? I DID have high ammonia in one test and when a doctor retested it, it wasn’t the case. I don’t know if that is illustrative of anything regarding CBS or my treatment.
Heartfixer says: “Biochemistry – The 10-fold up regulation in CBS generates sulfur breakdown products (sulfite and sulfate, which stimulate the stress/cortisol “fight or flight” response), excess ammonia (in the process wasting BH4 which is used up detoxifying ammonia)”
I feel like I am in constant state of fight/flight
In addition to the once elevated ammonia, I have high methionine. I am testing my cortisol this week.
I am not currently taking any methylfolate or b12. A psychiatrist had me on 15mg of Deplin for 2 weeks. I then discovered mthfr and all of that on my own and discontinued until 23andme came back. He doesn’t know anything about mthfr, he just rxd Deplin to go with Pristiq (which I decided NOT to take).
I don’t THINK that I had any adverse reactions to the deplin or methylcobalamin but I am not sure. I had such a hard time mentally that lead me to the shrink to begin with. I did take b12 shots in the past.
Just to be on the safe side though, and considering my mutations, I think that I should take hydroxy and NOT methylcobalamin, correct? B12 is B12, correct?
What is my best course of action?
1)Try the sulfate strips and if everything is ok….
2)Start hydroxyl for a certain amount of time? And if everything is ok….
3)Start Methylfolate (Deplin since I already have it, or buy something else)?
Should I be taking anything else? Will this help bh4 or do I need to take that too? My b6 was through the roof at one point (being retested this week), so should I be taking any more b vitamins (someone said no p5p with my snps?)
I am reattaching all my info
Thank you so much everyone! Once I learn more and straighten myself out, I look forward to helping people with this stuff myself – particularly mental health. That whole is field is just about incompetent.
