Hello all,
I’m a 23 year old male (former college football player).
I have MTHFR as well as MTRR. After 4 years of severe health issues, I recently discovered from a hair test that I have severely low B12. My symptoms all line up with B12 deficiency (Paranoia, severe insomnia, tinnitus, EMF sensitivity, etc...). These symptoms all started after a football surgery I had 4 years ago during which I was administered nitrous oxide, an anesthetic which is known to destroy up to 50% of the B12 in the body following even one dose.
I found an anti-aging clinic near my house that offers Methylcobalamin shots. I received a shot on Tuesday and it had a miraculous effect on all my symptoms for about 24 hours. I’d like to try the shots daily for a while (since B12 is non-toxic in large doses). The clinic, however, is refusing to administer the shots more than once a week.
I’ve made several attempts at Freddd’s protocol utilizing methylcobalamin lozenges, Methylfolate, and the rest of the deadlock quartet. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to supply the B12 lozenges fast enough to meet my body’s needs.
For the short term, I’m realizing that injections are my only option. However, methylcobalamin injections are not available in the US via standard pharmacies.
Any recommendations for moving forward? I’m eating a diet high in meat and liver. I have low stomach acid, however, so I’m not absorbing most of the B12 in the food I eat.
