caledonia ...I was getting "out of body" feelings, brain fog but that could be due to the panic attacks, and I felt totally out of control in my head. It was a weird feeling when I took a higher dose. My multivitamin has 50 mcg adenosyl/methyl mix B12 and 400 mcg methylfolate and 100 mcg molybdenum so I might continue with that although they are tablets so not great for B12 absorption. But I'm going to stop the NAC. The only thiol foods I was eating was kale and asparagus. I can't give up chicken because I feel better with meat but will try to have it once a day instead of twice or three times. Even when I stopped all supplements last winter, my anxiety continued so I think it's the BH4 issue.
My doctor today told me he wants to put me on BH4 and really wants me to do the EDTA calcium iv chelation test and urine test. I'm so concerned about that. And BH4 is supposed to be supplemented as a last resort. So idk what to do next.[/quote]
If you do establish that CBS is a problem and you need to do the protocol, if you do the Free Thiol diet instead of the Low Sulfur diet, you can keep eating meat. See the link in my signature.
If you're taking an oral multi, the B12 is absorbed so poorly you might as well not even count it. The methylfolate will absorb though. So maybe what you're actually creating is methyl trapping, and not methylation. Therefore you may feel worse in many aspects.
When I was taking a multi like that, I seemed to be making glutathione because my MCS improved (good), but conversely, it created an even worse B12 deficiency that I'm still trying to dig out from. I do have the B12 double whammy of both MTR and MTRR SNPs, so maybe that's why.
So my suggestion would be to get some sublingual B12 on board.
