Methyl B12
Thanks for the info Freddd.
Personally I wouldn't be a beginner with the B's as in the last two years I've had quite a bit of it. Sometimes an oral liquid containing Methyl B12, sometimes a sublingual Methyl B12 tablet, a few cyanacobalamine injections and a few Vit B IV's that started out small and then increased in size.
From your info I can see that although I probably absorbed some of the oral liquid, obviously not enough. I used the Methyl B12 sublingual tabs, but never for more than 5 minutes. I have a hard time keeping the daily discipline.
The Doctor that gave the IV's to me was dealing with these neuropathy issues with other symptoms, but I am not able to see him anymore due to insurance changes. His treatment plan for me was not finished.
I have had enough to know that I have seen improvements. I just didn't understand a lot of it. When my whole body went nuts with the raw nerve irritability, I was hardly able to sit still, and I certainly wasn't sleeping well, so I don't think I really understood or remembered much of what he probably said to me. I was barely out of the crisis when the insurance change happened, and just tried to take the B's on my own.
I slack off when my stomach gets queasy. When that happens, it is always in the morning (11 A.M.) right after waking up and taking my supplements. Twenty years ago I had a terrible time taking supplements without getting sick. Sometimes I'd just have to quit for a month or two and let my stomach settle down and then try again.
I actually hadn't had much quesiness for a couple of years, but I've been having more of it lately. It could be that I need to sit down with the supplements and see if there is some cyanacobalamine in one or two of them that is setting me off. Otherwise, add food as you suggested, or maybe take them just a bit later in the day.
I tend to purchase single ingredient supplements to prevent finding the addition of the cyanacobalamine in whatever it is that I am taking. I have returned several bottles of supplements to different companies because they made me nauseated.
I have noticed that in the last year two of those companies have switched their formulas to methyl B12. However, if possible, I stay away from the supplements that have a little of this and a little of that as usually they are the ones that cause me problems.
It could be that in giving myself too long of a Vitamin B12 vacation, without realizing I was doing it, I have slid back into the stage of queasiness as a symptom of not enough B's, along with a bit of numbness, a decline in sleep quality, balance problems and increase in anxiety.
I will get the injections switched to Methyl B12 and try to concentrate on using the Methyl B12 sublingual tabs correctly under the tongue for 45 min, twice a day.
(Just checked on the local compounding pharmacy, and it costs $120 for 3ml. Too expensive for my budget) Is the injection dose of MethylB12 smaller than cyanacobalamine?
I did read your other post in the other thread on this forum and printed the list of which supplements to take for this problem, and I will concentrate on being sure I take the ones I have, and get the ones I don't.
I will also concentrate on eating something before those B's and I recognize that you are right in saying that carbs help the nausea. I take Sodium Chlorite in the evening, and initially couldn't get it down with out something like potato chips. Had a lot of guilt about that, but the alternative was everything came back up which did me no good at all. Now I add Pomegranite juice to the medication and I don't need the chips to get it down. I am assuming it is because I have healed to a level where that isn't necessary any more.
I hope you feel at least a little bit blessed, knowing that your tough experiences in life have enabled you to help so many people heal when they read what you now know.
Thanks and Blessings!
