Hi guys,
I recently tested some of my nutrient status' due to my deteriorating condition and here are the results:
serum b12: 215pg/mL (193-982)
serum MMA: 149nmol/L (87-318)
serum folate: 28.2 ng/mL (3.1-17.5) H
RBC folate: 545ng/mL (>280) H
homocysteine: 13.1 umol/L (3.2-10.7) H
Vitamin B1 whole blood: 69 nmol/L (78-185) L
Vitamin B2: <5.0 nmol/L (6.2-39.0) L
Vitamin B6: 15.8 ng/m: (2.1-21.7)
Vitamin D- 25 Hydroxy: 3 ng/mL (30-100) L
So now my doctor says that I need to supplement vitamin D, b12 and b complex. I havn't taken those for a while due to either them causing me migraines and headaches or giving me diarrhea and other reactions. So now I'm at a loss of what to do...
I purchased solgar, source naturals, jarrows sublingual methyl b12 and everytime I try to take even a crumb I end up getting headaches and migraines. It also increases my excitotoxictiy symptoms; ear ringing, eye flashes, anxiety, brain fog, can't sleep and I feel generally overall more inflamed. I don't know if this is due to the sugar alcohols or the b12 itself. I also tried taking vitamin D at a dose of 400 IU, which greatly increased my excitotoxicity and headaches.
My doctor thinks my folate is good, but im not so sure. Can someone still be deficient with high serum and RBC folate levels?
If MMA is normal and folate is high, what else can be causing my homocysteine to be elevated?
Should I try to ask my doctor for subcutaneous injections of low dose methyl b12 and see if that also gives me a headache?
Did anyone experience the same reactions to these supplements and did you find anything that helped?
thanks.
