Hi guys,
Newbie here so be gentle
I'v had 'CFS' for almost 3 years now so I'm well accustomed to bouncing from one idea and supplement to the next. This year I'v been taking Methylfolate and B12 - and I have had some success. I'v been slowly trying to raise my dose, however a few days ago I had an episode where I had bad pins and needles in my legs, feet, hands, arms etc, and some major twitchiness. Eventually I had to get out of bed and somehow I managed to drink 7 pints of water - which is strange as I'd drank plenty during the day.
The pins and needles has calmed down quite a bit, but I'm still as twitchy as hell. I have stopped the folate and b12 since this episode.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I had been taking 2x1000mcg Methylfolate & 2x6000mcg Sublingual b12 daily, along with a full B-Vitamin complex and quite a large other regime of pills - I do feel like this episode is likely related to the b12/folate though as that's the only thing that has changed recently.
Apologies if this covered elsewhere - I'v tried to read up on this but there's just so much information and the vast majority of it goes straight over my head
