I restarted Freddds methylation plan once again after doing some work on my gut. Things seems to go better this time and I'm willing to push through (eventual) side effects in order to get healing going. Also taking more potassium as well as other co-factors which I believe could be my problem last time. As of now, i'm experiecing a continous side effect (for 2 weeks) at various times of the day and need some help identifying what it could be and how to approach it. I guess its best described as Anemia. My fingers and feet get very cold at various times of the day, typically mid-day. I can notice that my fingers is loosing skin colour as well, looking a bit pale. I find i'm feeling overall more cold in general too.
My guess would be paradoxical folate defiency? but I'm not sure as I've read that certain B-vitamins can get unbalanced and result in a state like this too, I doubt i'm low on B12 though. Currently taking:
Folate: 6-7 mg per day divided on 3-4 doses
B12 (enzymatic): 4-5mg
LCF: 500 mg
ADB12: 3-4 mg
Potassium: 1000-1500
Mangnesium: 150-300 mg/day
Zinc: 30 mg (every other day)
Fish oil: 2 caps max DHA
Vitamin C: 400 mg
Vitamin E: 10 mg
B-complex 1/2 capsule (a bit afraid of the high niacin content, I think the other B´s are balanced well?): http://www.iherb.com/Thorne-Researc...US&w=thorne b right stress&rc=15&sr=null&ic=1
Accompanied by this is some other side-effects which gotten better by rasing my folate dose: Edema (water retention in face/joints/ass), IBS issues and general problems with the digestive system (gotten a bit better).
Another side effect is increasing inflammation, mostly felt in my joints/legs/calf muscles, like "growing pains" which I've seen mentioned here before. I wonder if its due to low folate or low potassium. This happens often when I increase my folate dose.
Need some theories/advice on how to tackle the side effects, mostly the cold hands and feet as I believe that points to something more important to take care of
