Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I have symptoms that could indicate ME/CFS. However, in my situation I started on B12 supplementation about 6 weeks ago. It's made huge difference but I've had a hard time getting stable and the quantity I'm taking is far greater than normal B12 supplementation. That's what initially drew me here is the amount of B12 being taken daily.
Currently I'm taking b12 shots, 1000 mcg (1 mg) cyanocobalamin. I had to do the injections for 11 days in a row along with 30 - 100 mg oral (both methyl and cyano versions). I'm more stable now, taking a shot every other day and oral is only around 20 mg (but I also allow the tablets to dissolve slowly as learned here which does seem to make them a lot more effective). I've only been on the shots for 2 weeks. Before that was oral only which I still had a powerful affect but it was far less stable and changed throughout the day. The shots seem to be dampening the swings.
I am currently ONLY treating with B12. With just B12 the difference is huge, night and day. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or not? I do have an appt with a B12 specialist this week and I hope to learn more then. From what I have read so far it seems most folks here have to use a far more comprehensive supplementation regimen in order to get results. Any thoughts or experiences similar to this would be of great interest!
Thanks!
