Hi all, after some patient waiting I received my blood exams and urine test results from my doctor.
According to the test, I'm very deficient in Biotin, moderately deficient in Vit E and A, but fine in the other micronutrients. I've started supplementing all of the above in higher doses in hopes of fixing my problem
On to methylation:
my b12 was off the charts, and so was my homocysteine. Interestingly enough one test indicated it was in the normal range while the other tests told me I had too much in my body. Folate was fine but I was moderately deficient in b6, the problem here is that I always have an adverse reaction to b6 thanks to my CBS mutation.
I also tested very high for magnesium, I take approximately 1.2g of magnesium glycinate/malate combination every night so I understand this, but my glycinate was low
As for amino acids, I was low on:
Cystathionine
Arginine/orthinine
Histidine
Isoleucine
Valine
Alanine
Asparagine
Glutamine
Tyrosine
Cystine
Glycine
Carnosine
Pyroglutamic acid
Lactic acid
Pyruvic acid
I am now supplementing BCAA's, at least the ones that are readily available and not sulfur based.
And I was very high on:
Taurine
Benzoic acid
Ammonia
3-methylhistidine
Urea
2-hydroxyphenylacetic Acid
Onto hormonal:
My thyroid was low, so I'm supplementing more iodine now
My testosterone showed up around 410 but my free test was very low, so my doctor wants to put me on HCG
My estro is high and my progesterone is low, my DHEA is also borderline low
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My problems are brain fog, anxiety, speech impediment, loose stools and very low energy. I had a food allergy test done and I've eliminated most trigger foods so now I'm feeling a little better, but I wanna fix my problems once and for all. I also have a stool test on the way.
Here are my questions:
1) is too much magnesium dangerous? Should I supplement glycine on the side?
2) is HCG at the age of 23 a good idea? Can't it shut down my own test production?
3) will DHEA fix itself with HCG or do I have to supplement?
4) what role does Biotin play in mental health?
5) how to I lower the amino acids that I have in excess? I eat a lot of protein as I like the weight train, should I lower that amount?
I know it's a lot of info to take in at once, but can anyone experienced please chime in? I'll be forever thankful
