I am only at day 17 and not sure if the ncreased symptoms mean I am on track- or if something is not quite right. I have titrated up to ( these were in place before i strated this protocol)- I have benefited from introducing celery seed capsules and tea as a way to significantly increase my potassium naturally ( potassium made my stomach burn)- my muscle cramps and twitching seem to have gone. I am thinking of stopping the SAM-e for a while- until the methylation blocks seem to be lifting- this thought was sparked by something that Rich said that SAM-e may cause headpain if taken before methylation is functional.
At oone level i feel awful and at another level I can see some improvement-the worsening of symptoms is increased headpain, nausea, worsening of insomnia, incredibly tired, and increased body itch ( had this before but it is now worse).
I have tried to increase the methyl b12 but it made me almost bed bound and non functional. So, I am staying steady on the 750mg dose which i have been on for the past 5 days.
I have noticed two things improve improve (so I guess this is all working?) - my almost daily migraines have reduced- i have not had one for 8 days. My head just hurts and I have nausea but it is not like my old migraines. And, my totth pain that I got on initial start up is subsiding some.
My question is- is this normal start up and do I just try and ride this out for a few more weeks? I have no idea if what i am doing is the right approach- i have just read the other posts and follwed suit, and tried to listen to my body about how quickly I can go up on the methyl b12.
If anyone has any comments I would welcome them- this is like being in the dark and my dr is supportive but has no idea-
Suzanne
