Hi all,
Due a b12 deficiency I have started with b12 hydroxycobalamin injections.
After the 5th injection I took for the first time in the evening 1 Folinic acid ( calcium salt) lozenge (seeking health) 800ug.
I took this with potassium, magnesium and himalaya salt.
A much better sleep and the next morning a good feeling , but in the afternoon/evening the extreme fatigue, drowsiness and brainfog started. It's now there for 4 days, it triggered CFS.
Since I need folate because of the b12 injection, I wonder what could be the cause?
A search shows that people with COMT have issues with converting folinic acid.
I do have COMT, as well as MTHFR.
But how can I be sure if this is the case? Since my sleep gets better I believe I do convert it?
Maybe it's a detox reaction.
Does somebody have any experience / tips? Because I am reluctant to take the next b12 injection without folinic acid.
Thanks in advance.
