Hey all
Hope you are well.
I'm an undermethylator. Seasonal allergies/crashes, low motivation during the summer (when everyone else is buzzing around) and I don't have the confidence for holidays due to the way my system goes in reverse gear.
I have been diagnosed hypogonadism and struggling cortisol.
Recently started taking SAM-e and after the first dose 200mg I felt an overwhelming surge of energy, almost like being 16 again (I'm 26), but after that it dipped, and every following dose just gently improves mood. I've also started having trouble sleeping at night.
I thought perhaps co-factors would bump it up for a sustained improvement. Vitamin B12 seems to also provide a gentle boost in terms of mental clarity and reducing anxiety.
However, I have taken my first dose of TMG, which I read is a more cost effective pre-cursor to the SAM-e. After 30 minutes I felt a surge of energy, all my muscles enlarged (similar to when I get my thyroid supps right), but I felt sluggish, and after the next hour, I felt dreadfully tired, anxious, similar to low cortisol symptoms. It's passed now since I've had a big meal.
Could it be the liver detoxing or is it my adrenal fatigue, and why didn't I get this with the SAM-e? Perhaps I also need to add l-methionine in?
Thanks
Dan
