Dysautonomia worse treating B12

Hello all,

It appears we finally have the right approach and my MMA levels are coming down. I have already upped my potassium. My dysautonomia seems to be getting worse. Anyone else experience worsening while treating? I suspect it’s the cells being created and nerves healing... at least I hope it’s that!

Thank you,

K.

@K980, I can't remember, are you taking methyl folate? B12 can cause folate deficiency and dysautonomia and POTS can be caused by folate deficiency.

Thanks. I am taking hydroxy with Folinic acid and riboflavin. My folate results from a few weeks ago were great

Update. My MMA went back up. The only thing I changed was not taking the Adensoyl b12 lozenge as I thought the riboflavin would take care of the conversion of cobalamin to Adensoyl. What can stop cobalamin from converting to Adensoyl b12?
