I genuinely think it’s mutated into Huntington’s from a build up of too much glutamate from the folate. I have so many of the symptoms. :/ absolutely terrifying.

If you have'nt already done so, I suggest you make a point of asking the Doctor that is treating your thyroid disorder if your symptoms might be connected to thyroid function or the medicine you are taking for it. Not sleeping for a long spell can do some very strange things to people. Can seriously mess your head up. It sounds like you have had what could be described as a manic episode. Nothing to be ashamed of. Met a few people over the years who have had this sort of thing happen. Fairly easy to treat as its just a chemical imbalance. It does'nt mean you are mad. Might well be a one off. Good luck.
I tried the taurine which in a small dose seemed ok in a larger dose just stimulated me. The mag I tried yesterday.have you tried the supplements
The possibility that you have some how altered your genes with a supplement is really very,very unlikely. From reading your posts it is clear that sometimes you feel ok. If you had altered your genes or 'Reset' your body's chemistry you would feel strange all the time. This is starting to sound more like a thyroid problem than anything else. It is possible that a supplement (not just folate) has effected your thyroid meds. OR the folate may have nothing to do with this. Just a coincidence.
My GP gave me Valium and Zopiclone because I was in a highly stressed and anxious state and could not sleep at all. I’ve been on AIP before but lost too much weight.the first step is getting to sleep ... that's first step in healing ... so you don't have sleep problems anymore i assume
taking thyroid medicine throws a monkey wrench into everything
your objective should be to ween yourself off them ... you should look into autoimmune diet
something you should look into ... she has helped many people come off their thyroid medicine ... see her books
