Hi.
After spending months adding pinches of crushed Metafolin and crumbs of MB12 and getting no where with a PFD I decided to try a larger dose. I took 200mc Folate and 1250mc MB12. 18 hours later - GREAT! I wrote in my diary "great feeling. Head clear. Feel normal". I tried this dose 3 times and the same thing happened and then it STOPPED!
Any clues as to why this might happen?
I have been increasing both but cannot get these good days back so I think the balance is out. or there is some other factor.
I have read the threads on 'Balance' and am trying to keep things 1:1 . A week ago went up to 1600 Folate and 1250 MB12. This eased the nerve and muscle pain in scalp by about 50% but has greatly increased fogginess, aswell as feeling constantly spaced and a bit agitated. Looking at the 'low potassium/low folate decision tree I would put these side affects in the folate def. category but they seem to be made worse with folate.
Could this be start-up of healing? or that I havn't got the balance right? Too much Folate? Not enough MB12?
I am also taking 1mg AD-B a day but cannot tolerate L-C-F as it appears to cause more nerve pain. Have managed 3weeks but had to stop.
Am thinking about uping Folate to 3200 but am not sure if I should be increasing the B12 aswell?
Should the balance be between the amount of folate and B12 taken or the amount of B12 absorbed?
Any suggestions would be great.
