Dear community,
ma GP has done the general testing of blood- Some of the results confused me, so here´s my question:
He reported that my folic acid value is above norm level, and so is Vitamine B 12.
I take both of them as supplements according to the Dr Myhill protocol. Is it possible by any means to have them too high in the blood yet too low elsewhere, or should I really stop supplementing? I felt like I had a mental improvement and better mood, but as I do not only follow the Myhill protocol but also take a Vitamin complex (Rocky Mountains) and several minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium) and found PR which meant great mental relief, I do not know whether the improvement is caused by the protocol or different stuff. I would not want to stop with any of this without being certain that I have to.
Further results were:
No current EBV or Borrelia, only past ones. Any value regarding liver, kidney, inflammation is normal to splendid. ANA in normal range. Only thing: High Cholesterol.
My symptoms at present are severe fatigue (almost bedridden due to that), OI, sensitivity to light and sound (not always, but after exertion increases), moderate sinusitis, moderate ileitis, PEM, mood swings, anxiety and panic attacks, poor sleep quality, often muscular pain or sore muscles, increasingly after exertion, kognitive symptoms like not finding the correct word and short term memory impaired.
So what now? I do not want to finish up in the psychiatric corner again too soon. I would be grateful for any suggestions for further testing - I can´t do too muc of it as almost bedridden with crashes after getting outside, otherwise I´d consider going to a CFS doc...
I know you guys are no docs, neither am I. I am only interested in what you think. Of course the decision is my own then, but some hint or similarity would help understand better.
Thank you!!
