hi ...
i am somewhat confused by reading so much. i will ask and see if anyone can help me?
i took the OAT test, was told: B6, B12, glutathione, very low. Other b vitamins, low.
seratonin and dopamine, very low.
ok i am homozygous c6677T so i need folate, not folic acid.
at least my homoscysteine is good (i think) - 6.
fortunately i have been taking a thorne multi without copper for years which is 1 mg folate (half folinic acid, half l-f-mtf.) i also take a high quality enzymatic b multi. (i take a bunch of other things so i am hoping to cut to the chase here.)
a year ago my dr. gave me a vial of mCbl and i started injecting .6 mg once a week. (It's probably turned into hydroxy cbm since i just left it in its amber bottle in the fridge?)
i also was taking liposomal gluthione every morning and p5p supplemental in the evening, so these OAT results were a shock to me.I was already supplementing with these!
after getting the OAT (like a month or so ago), he told me to start taking 1 g mCbl injections daily and 1 g methylfolate, plus one packet liposomal glutathione of another brand. and 3 of the p5p a day. i started getting weird headaches.
first i cut out the glutathione. still the headaches. ... anyway i've been trying to learn how to add in b12 and folate and p5p. i can take the p5p twice day but somehow now i feel really stuck. I can't manage to feel right at all.
i bought some adCbm and only took the mCbm twice week, .5 mg. The last time i didn't add in extra folate (i have 1 gm in my vitamins.)
Well, for the last few days i've been really nauseous when i take my supps/eat. This is totally unusual for me.
must this be from the b12? can't figure out how to proceed.More folate? Less b12? i just feel lost. Not sure what tests to take to see what is needed next or what supps to take to balance out what i've done. the only thing that seems to help is to stop but i want to go on the protocol without getting sick.
symptoms: sound sensitivity, muscle aches in back and legs, neuropathies in trunk, headaches, some depression/apathy... let's start there.
please let me know if any more info desired or helpful and maybe i can provide. thanks in advance for any help. this is a great board!
