I started the Yasko simplified methylation protocol and was tested through vitamin diagnostics. When I started, the dosing was too highs, so i had to stop after 5 days. I had major anxiety, chest tightness, stomach pain, headache and muscle soreness. So I stopped and have been waiting for the symptoms to die down. It is happening very slowly and the symptoms change every day.
So my question is do I stop and get more testing? Or is this normal for starting too high and I should just try and get through it? My ND has told me to back way off on the dosing and start one supp at a time, beginning with hb12. But I can't imagine beginning again and exacerbating these symptoms. I do have Lyme, and I'm wondering if I instigated a die off. But Lyme herxes usually settle out more quickly for me.
It seems like the genetic testing is in order here, but my ND doesn't do much with that and I can't afford another practitioner. I need her for her knowledge of Lyme and KPU. This is so confusing and I am not sure if this reaction I'm having is a detox or an indication that I have one or more of the SNP's. (sigh). How would one know without the testing? Or is that impossible to know?
