Hi,
I am hoping someone will help me with this question. My husband and I are wanting to start a family, and I have what seems to be awful over-methylation symptoms, whenever I take methyl-folate or folic acid for pre-pregnancy. I have had cfs for a number of years and I have tried to get started with Methylation a number of times but each time I get terrible over-methylation and have to stop.
I have tried:
First time: 1mg Methyl-Folate (As part of Thorne's basic nutrients V) - 450 mcg Methyl B12
Second time: 800mcg Folic Acid (As part of pre-natal vitamins)
I think this might be related to my MAO-A and COMT defects
My symptoms are: completely unable to sleep, wired, anxiety, hear palpations. It's just a nightmare.
I really need some help in working out how I can take the folate I need without causing over-methylation, or how to successfully start the methylation process. Because otherwise we can't get pregnant and we don't have all the time in the world either.
Please please please can someone help, I live in NZ and there are no doctors here looking into this and legally we can't import Amy Yasko's supplements into the country.
Homozygous:
MAO-A R297R (Amy Yasko's interpretation)
MTRR A664A
Heterozygous:
COMT V158M
COMT H62H
VDR Bsm
VDR Taq
ACAT1-02
MTHFR A1298C
MTRR A66G
BHMT-02
BHMT-04
BHMT-08
