Methylcobalamin/MethylB12 Intolerance

Hi again,

Any idea why I'm able to do quite well on high dose folate (15 mg x2/day) and various co-factors and supports (including potassium gluconate) but can hardly tolerate any doses of mb12?

Mb12 absolutely knocks me out. I seem to fall into Freddd's description of paradoxical folate deficiency or at least his descriptions of needing more folate: weak/sore joints, extreme fatigue, brain fog, anti-social, etc.
