    Thank you so much. I just had them taken yesterday by my cooperative GP, for a clinician I will consult. I had taken about 50 mcg of methyl B-12 which, together with some trimethylglycine made me pretty confused. Do you think that little methyl B12 would affect MMA levels a week later? Thank...

    Does the organic acids test help?

    Hi everyone, Just got back from my GP, who is, all in all, quite good and well above your average narrow minded doctor. He strongly discouraged me from doing the organic acids test, saying he'd done it many times and that he can't remember it helping anyone, though he'd do it if I insisted...

    @Valentijn Hi, sorry to bother you, but I'm having gigantic problems concentrating (can't work, on disability) and am really suffering. Fatigue at the moment is not too bad - SSRIs trigger enormous fatigue - but I'm wondering if methylation (homozygous for A66G) my explain my enormous problems...
