Hi,
I'm relatively new to @Freddd's protocol. I'm treating Pyroluria plus I am treating CFS/FMS.
I experienced a good reaction to Methyl B12 and had initially started treatment with Thorne Stress B Complex along with some Thorne 5-MTHF. All supplements had been started before finding the protocol recommended here and I've now received my latest order from iHerb so I can follow the protocol properly.
The reason for posting is I've been unwell for a few days now and I'm not sure exactly what it is.
A few days back I took a couple of the 5-MTHF capsules as I was really feeling a benefit from them overall. I had an awful nights sleep with insomnia returning after several days of really good sleep. I also had an upset stomach and was cranky with the kids.
I looked this up and saw that they were probably due to taking too much 5-MTHF so I backed off all my B's for two days so as not to add to the symptoms. I saw that I should take Niacin but I have none of this as a separate supplement.
Now I am back to sleeping well at night but I am ridiculously tired all day. I don't wake easily in the morning and will go back to sleep. I still have an upset stomach but not as bad as before and I feel washed out, cold and achy.
To some extent it feels like a cold without the coughing and sneezing.
Is this all a consequence of taking too much 5-MTHF (which I will be way more careful with now) or have I kicked off a detox reaction?
What should I do about taking my supplements, specifically Methylfolate?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
