I’ve mentioned in previous posts about having issues with paranoia and irritation and ocd I believe as well. Some other symptoms are being highly emotional and sensitive (breaking down crying) thinking that people’s emotions or emotional response towards me are fake as well as my own emotional response and both deemed un trust worthy.
These things are extremely private to me andvery sensitve information so please kind if you plan on writing a response or please keep scrolling. I write these things because I know I am not alone in what I am going theough or perhaps it might bring relief to someone else or shed some light for me or them for present or past experience. I am also writing this because this past Friday I actually felt normal and it was amazing! I didnt feel all anxious, paranoid, depressed and overly emotional with distorted cognitive thinking and today seems to so far to be the same. I actually feel joy and human and feel like I can/ desire to be near people again.
But somehow my monthly period got heavy again (sorry for too much info) and usually the maca helps slow it down or had in the past so I’m not sure what is doing this. I eat meat and veggies every day for iron.
What changed: I am not sure, but I started doing a Epstein Barr Protocol with quite a few things as well as drink almond milk with collagen protein powder and small amount of maca and carob. So yet again its hards to know which one thing (or more) is making a difference but it brings up the question: are my symptoms due to a chemical in balance in which the maca is helping or is it due to the EBV? I think i could probably eliminate the maca and find out if things change. I havent taken the maca yet or the supplements but I have been taking the supplements for two or 3 days now so I am wondering but thankful!
Has anyone heard of this? Having psychiatric symptoms due to EBV or perhaps corrected when ebv was corrected/ or healing by maca?
I feel like could be across the board and not just in PA group but I can only choose one forum to share it in.
Also for those that commented on my last one thank you for sharing, for some reason I couldnt comment back and wasnt sure why.
Sorry you are so uo and down. Perhaps keep a diary of all you eating. How well you sleep. The stage of your menstrual cycle. Any more details you feel relevant to your day.
Hope this will help to see if any patterns emerging.
Wow, thank you for sharing, i found this to be helpful! I cant imagine how you must’ve felt at that time what was your b12 level at then, do you remember? When you get your b12 blood test, what level have you found to be your optimal spot? I do have crying spells as welI and have wondered why, perhaps this could be why for me as well. I have been in the 400s and last few showed 600s but havent recently tested and was supplementing with a whole food gluten free supplement.
Wow, that was really low! I am also glad that you found this sight and are injecting yourself as well. Why shouldnt she have tested you? Dont you want to know if its helping? Are you feeling any different or better? I hope to get B12 tested again soon (i had stopped b12 supplement for ebv supplements) to see where I am at. Have you tested for IF?
That makes sense, and I’ve heard that being said before, however I wonder though, how do you get a doctors approval on month b12 injections if he or she doesnt have enough proof (if they dont understand you can be deficient while range) to prove that you have PA or b12 deficiency? Can they diagnose you on symptoms alone?
This is why I ask as I am in the second position you have mentioned with previous lab tests. Do you know if one can obtain injectible b12 without a prescription?
Thats good that you are able to get a steady supply from a reliable source. I will do this thank you and no, not yet. i have just started looking into this issue and so it might be a while before I get my first injection. I get the impression my primary isnt too fond of me so I may need to start elsewhere with a new primary doctor.. ☹️
