My OAT (Organic Acids Test) and my symptoms strong point to a Mitochondrial problem. My Energy Production Markers are as follows:
Not helping is what is going on with my Fatty Acid Metabolism:
And I have a Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorder, which means I may not be feeding my Mito very well, either:
Here's what I find interesting? Before my February crash, I was taking the following based on OAT recommendations (though the amounts were based on my research), and they clearly didn't stop me from that major crash in February:
So I'm trying my best to figure out what to do next. I am still on all the above, but am adding the following:
I also want to add that I found out I have THREE homozygous CoQ10 mutations.
7. Citrate Almost High
8. Cis-Aconitate HIGH
11. Succinate VERY HIGH
13. Malate VERY HIGH
14. Hydroxymethylglutarate Almost High
8. Cis-Aconitate HIGH

13. Malate VERY HIGH

Not helping is what is going on with my Fatty Acid Metabolism:
2. Suberate HIGH
3. Ethylmalonate HIGH
3. Ethylmalonate HIGH
And I have a Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorder, which means I may not be feeding my Mito very well, either:
5. L-Lactate HIGH
6. ß-Hydroxybutyrate VERY HIGH
And sure enough, I crashed pretty badly last February after a day of intense walking and I took over a week to recover with massive bodily fatigue. Then the same happened a week ago after a day of a lot of activity...and I'm still not recovered.6. ß-Hydroxybutyrate VERY HIGH
Here's what I find interesting? Before my February crash, I was taking the following based on OAT recommendations (though the amounts were based on my research), and they clearly didn't stop me from that major crash in February:
- L-Carnitine Fumerate 2400 mg a day – for fatty acid metabolism problem
- CoQ10 100 mg
- Complex B-vitamins (for Citric Acid Cycle)
- Molybdenum 500 mcg (was low on hair testing in late 2015_
- Manganese 15 mg and
- Arginine (based on OAT recommendation)
- Vanadium 1mg and Chromium 200 mg (for my Carb Metabolism disorder)-were low on hair testing
- Enzymes (because I also have a problem breaking down protein)
- Vit E
- Selenium
- More CoQ10, 600 mg a day
- Amino Acids by Now brand to support CAC*
- Arginine 500/ Ornithine 250 (**)
- L-carnosine 500 mg (**) – to blunt the high lactic acid, partly due to inefficient energy metab.
- Magnesium in Kreb’s Cycle Intermediates by Enzymatic Therapy (**) – Not impressed so I stopped over a month ago and forgot to add in the missing Magnesium. .
- Creatine – 1-2 tsps day (though I stopped 1 month ago as I was feeling so good and doing so much more
- NT Factor (started March 6th) -but I stopped over a month ago because I was feeling so much better.
- Vitamin D (off and on)
So I'm trying my best to figure out what to do next. I am still on all the above, but am adding the following:
- Acetyl-L-Carnosne, just in case it's more effective than the Fumerate version I was taking.
- PQQ and NADH--started a few days ago based on all I've read.
- R-ALA
- Off the high dose B-Complex based on what I've read in this forum. I will only take the following: B1, B2, B5, B9 and biotin (OAT says I need these, especially the B2) and let the NADH be the T3 I'll take. (My confusion is how much to take of these)
- Back on Magnesium
- Back on NT Factor twice a day
I also want to add that I found out I have THREE homozygous CoQ10 mutations.
