It all started around 2 years ago when I was taking megadoses of zinc(like 200 mg a day for a lot of time).Im 19 years old and I didnt have any problems untill then.This zinc megadosing completely killed my libido and made me very depresed , unmotivated and lethargic.I have also developed a chronic cough.
After a lot of researching I found that I probably had developed a copper deficiency.I started getting more copper into my system(with copper supplements and other sources).My chronic cough vanished and my libido somehow returned.But the libido was temporary.
I kept researching and I found this article

Which says that the moons on your nails(lunulae) are an indicator of your vitamin b12 levels
I bought some vitamin b12 from the store(solgar 1000mcg) and I began taking it.Later that day I found my libido returning and my pale complexion becoming more normal skin color.Also , after 2 days I noticed that 3 tiny lunulae have appeared on my index finger,middle finger and ring finger of my right hand(I only had it on my thumbs).I thought I finally knew what was going and what I had to fix.But this didnt last long.
After a few days , vitamin b12 was doing nothing for me.Like I couldnt absorb it.I looked into vitamin b12 interactions with other vitamins and I took folate(2000mcg).It made me feel even worse , and my cough slighlty returned.It also made me have a burning sensation in my mouth and a weird feeling of thirst.The small moons did not dissapear though.
I thought I have depleted vitamin b12 so I tried taking large doses of b12 (like 6000mcg).I took the now foods and put under my upper lip.The citric acid ended up damaging and tearing my upper lip frenulum.Also I took them under my tongue.But it did nothing.
I am completely desperate on this situation and have no idea what to do.I found another thread on this forum that was claiming that you cant absorb vitamin b12 if you dont have vitamin b2(robiflavin).Is this ture?Could this be the cause?Please help me
