I was diagnosed with CFS at age 16, 18 years ago. Gotten myself a lot better, but far from well.
I revisited methylation after reading Amy Yasko's information. I have always had macrocytic anemia. So has my father. We both have food allergies, fatigue, and insomnia, but I am worse. I have had a lot of anxiety and depression. I have very low blood pressure (80/55-100/60) I had some childhood abuse and chronic depression from about age 9, but my current illness began with stress, hives, and food poisoning. Then I had dozens of food allergies, flushing, severe depression and insomnia. I pee a lot. Mildly bipolar. IBS. Sore muscles are a no no.
Here are my methylation pathway SNP's from Genetic Genie. The rest were -/- or No Call:
COMT V158Mrs4680 +/-
COMT H62Hrs4633 +/-
VDR Taqrs731236 +/+
MAO-A R297Rrs6323 +/+
MTHFR C677Trs1801133 +/-
MTHFR 03 P39Prs2066470 +/-
MTHFR A1298Crs1801131 +/-
MTR A2756Grs1805087 +/-
MTRR A66Grs1801394 +/-
BHMT-02rs567754CT +/-
BHMT-08rs651852TT +/+
CBS C699Trs234706 +/-
CBS A360Ars1801181 +/-
Here are some of my experience with supplements and other things:
Methylfolate: fatigue, depression, sounder sleep
hydroxycobalamin injections: wonderful for a while, then stopped working, then more fatigue when I quit
Methylcobalamin: Only take 5000mcg occasionally. Didn't notice anything.
Magnesium: dopey, tired
Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Vitamin A: depressed and tired
Fish oil: EPA good, DHA bad
Any psyochotropic drug that pushes serotonin is bad
Parnate: good-ish. Less serotonergic MAOI. More than full dose causes insomnia big time.
Lithium carbonate: seems to protect from the depression that results from inhalent allergies
Helminthic Therapy (hookworms): Big increase in energy
Specific Carbohydrate Diet: I get to sleep and have more energy.
Thank you for responding. I appreciate your generosity
