Hi all, thanks for everyone's input. It does seem like this seems to be a bit of a theme for some people.
After some experimentation since I originally posted it's seems like @
Leopardtail is right on the money with his advice. My dad is a severe diabetic, and hypoglycaemia was some of the very first symptoms that I started to have with my initial decline & onset of chronic fatigue symptoms. My adrenal weakness was also there since childhood in some form, I'm sure.
What seems to be working is ensuring that I have sufficient carbs with/and around the ALCAR supplementation. The immediate increased fatigue & "brain-fog" has decreased almost entirely. However, the reactive hypoglycaemia is still present with increased activity - any increased heart rate for more than a few minutes seems to set it off rapidly, and then I'm finding it extremely difficult to stabilize the sugars following increased activity.
I have been following a strict food combining diet for the past 4 months, which has greatly reduced my general fatigue.
What is totally throwing me for a tailspin, is that it *seems* that I don't need to do this anymore.
I'm totally blown away my what seems to be some massive healing that has occurred in my ability to digest & metabolize food since I have started the adenosyl-B12 and ALCAR.
I used to get *severe* post-meal fatigue and the only thing that alleviated this was strict no carb with meat rule. I had to follow a strict elimination diet, as I would either get ++agitation or ++fatigue following certain foods, such as nuts. I have now successfully reintroduced all nuts other than almonds to my diet. And this has all happened since I started adenosyl-B12 and ALCAR. We are talking about less than 1 month ago! I have re-introduced other things too like different fruits with no reaction.

Freddd do you have any insight to lend regarding this almost "too good to be true" scenario with the introduction of adenosyl-B12 & ALCAR? Even in tiny doses, um, it seems to be a major game-changer?!
My plan going forward is to slowly return to a more normal diet... I'm going to start by keeping paleo rules for the most part, but I'm going to experiment with the reintroduction of rice especially for on a day when I am going to have increased exertion. I've been blessed in that since I successfully got rid of my parasite early last year and the introduction of methylation supports that I have been able to exercise a bit! At first it caused major crashes, but then as I worked with it, I was able to do it without too much PEM. However, since the introduction of the ALCAR and adenosyl-B12 my reactive hypoglycaemia has ramped up to dangerous levels causing me to quickly make dietary adjustments to support more slow release of sugar into my blood stream especially with increased exertion.
I'm so very, very thankful for all of your support. This is a wonderful place to come to when one is feeling like they are losing their marbles, lol
I always find someone that can validate and make suggestions
