Maybe this is the question I should have asked originally... Since I'm struggling so hard suddenly, and I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. It's probably a really stupid question, but I need confirmation.
After making SO much progress with just individual Bs and then a B complex... I slowly regressed completely back to all my old symptoms... (migraines, stomach pains, liver soreness, bad kidney/lower back pain, dark infrequent urine, terrible digestion, insomnia, cold all the time, thyroid pains, low blood sugar, ammonia, sulfur/meat intolerance, and much more).
At first I thought it was the ammonia itself getting in the way of my supplement absorbtion, but I think that's just a symptom at this point of something else entirely... most likely my terrible kidney function. Since when my urination improves, so do my ammonia symptoms... I thought this was the other way around (and maybe it is, idk).
I think what happened was, once I rebuilt my B vitamins in my body (or treated my deficiencies rather), it started using up all the other cofactors for making glutathione, which my body is tremendously lacking in, and likely the cause of most of my symptoms.
So my question is... can taking only a (methylated) B complex, deplete other glutathione cofactors, if not also supplementing them? Even if one eats extremely healthy, with lots of vegetables? Using them all up to produce GSH (which it seemed like I was producing again for a while, then stopped completely).
For instance, I feel like my biggest deficiency right now is magnesium (or maybe it's really calcium? K2?)... which would explain why my anxiety and insomnia and inability to relax are worse than EVER, I think? And I always feel a 'little' bit better after I supplement decently large doses of it by itself, and "feel" like I'm producing GSH again... for a very short time. But still getting worse and worse overall... even with adding that in...
