Hi All,
I ordered some HydroxyB12 after learning that according to my SNP's (COMT ++ , VDR +/-) I can benefit from Hydroxy or Adenosyl B12. I am +/- on both MTHFR and MTRR.
This is the brand I purchased:
http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Orthomolecular-Research-Hydroxy-Tablets/dp/B00457FZYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409821283&sr=8-1&keywords=hydroxy b12
Which has the following written on the label:
Hydroxyocobalamin 1000 mcg / 16667%
The first time that I took it, within minutes I was yawning. This is a nice thing for an over-methylator because us
over-methylators have excess dopamine and norepenephrine and have tough time sleeping... But off course I don't want to be sleepy during the day so I started taking it at night along with my magnesium powder(which also induces sleep for me).... Anyways, within 2-3 days I started getting alot of pain in my ear. It felt like a ear infection but no fever... and could not tell if it's from this supplement or Mollyebdenum which I had started around the same time.... So I stopped both and waited a week..... then I took only the Hydroxy B12 2 days ago.... I slept well that night, but the next day I noticed my muscles felt tired and heavy... figured may be the dose (1000mcg) is too much so I skipped the B12 that night. But the day after(which was yesterday) I started building up this pressure in my head, under my left eye and it turned into a full blown headache with feeling of nausea in the afternoon which forced me to leave work early.... took some Tylonal and Nicianmede which always helps me in these situations, and slept....And it took about 6 hours before the pain finally cleared up.
So I now would like some education on B12 please. I know that I am low on B12(even my blood tests showed it)... But I am not sure how to handle this... Should I try the Adenosyl type and see how that works? Should I take a much smaller dose of the HydroxyB12? Should I be taking the B12 with Methyfolate or another supplement? Please help if you can...My 23andme Profile is attached. . thanks so much,
Peyt
