COVID Fatigue compared to B12 Deficiency Fatigue.

[WIZARD6787]

I tested positive for COVID 12 days ago took Paxlovid for 5 days. Thank you Pfizer scientists including creating a way for some applied scientist/medical to not screw it up.

Improved for 7 days then experienced rebound for three days. Thanks again Pfizer scientists for gathering and disseminating rebound information.

So the fatigue I experienced with both COVID and B12 Deficiency was similar. There was a difference and I could not put my finger on a way to describe it. I was racking my brain.

Then I concluded that the difference was I could rack my brain as there was less brain fog, a result of my self treatment of B12 deficiency. Other than that it was identical.

Conclusion: The fatigue I experienced due to B12 Deficiency was the result of my body adjusting to B12 Deficiency.

Self treatment regiment for the last 21 days. Positive.

“Simple Spectrum ” 1/2 scoop 2.4 g in juice twice a day in lieu of B-complex. Which includes 20 mg of B6 in the form of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate and .35 mg of B12 in the form of methylcobalamin.

3 mg Adenasoyolcabalamin three times a day SL tablet.

2 mg Methylcobalamin. Three times a day SL tablet.

1 mg SC Hydroxocabalamin three times a day.

B6 Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate .25 mg liquid in water twice a day.

Note: As a practical matter I now inject and take the SL tablets randomly and no sooner than three hours apart. If I wake up in the night and three hours has passed I inject and take the SL tablets. Works out the same amount each day. I personally find no comfort in self treating with a Jr High science fair methodology. (I inject .5 or 1 mg depending on interval.

I am also gradually increasing the “Simple Spectrum” to the recommended dosage. It is recommended to increase gradually and I need a lot of rest and sleep as my body adjusts to the positive effects of the ingredients in “Simple Spectrum”.

My next step may be to inject the three forms of cabalamin available for injecting as the best form of cabalamin is not scientifically established by comparative trials. I am aware the efficacy of SL vs SC is not scientifically established by comparative trials and that the placebo effect of injecting has been scientifically established to have more of an effect than oral medication although SL has not been studied as far as I know.

I am going forward with that I have experienced Functionally B12 Deficiency from birth acquired from my mother not inherited genetically. That I experience both IF Factor and transcobalamin issues.

I reject the concept that the treatment for transcobalamin issues should be the same. I expect that my success with administering more B12 that current applied medical science finds adequate and may be for IF issues alone was really just flooding the transcobalamin issue.

In reviewing my notes I noticed that each trial of a different form of B12 started with a short decrease in symptoms. It is possible that was caused by a overlap in the different forms of B12 in my body which is why I am considering a trial of injecting different forms of B12 at the same time. I now take three different forms and the results are positive.

I have written here often that I am for the most part pain free. I was mistaken as I did not know what pain free was never having experienced it before due to a life time of Functionally B12 Deficiency. I have been pain free for a few hours three times now. So now I know.

I was given a diagnosis/sentence of permanent peripheral nephropathy which will be correct only of the slight numbness in the end of my toes does not go away which I expect it will.

What most likely would be accurate is the way the physician chooses to treat will not result in the recovery from peripheral nephropathy.

Dear Wizard

So sorry to hear you are suffering. Not had time to read and digest your post but I will. Get better soon 🤗🤗🤗

TY.

I hope you recover quickly!

I agree with everything you say. In my case I suspect I got PA from my mother & something genetic from my father. I don't really mention it here but although I inject 2x day I get 4mg total h.b12. I completely agree that many of us need more agressive treatment than typically given or even accepted. I'm so grateful that the german pharmacies sell us b12.

I started SI in 2016. Most of the neuropathy healed or was significantly better the first two years. But it's only earlier this year that the numb patches on my back have finally started to get a tiny bit of feeling back. Actually they itch quite a bit now lol. So don't give up on your toes I'm sure your pain will continue to improve too.

I'm pretty sure there are others who inject 2 or 3 types. There was a story of a lady, i think on a different forum, who was injecting even higher amount and in all 3 forms. I wish I had saved the post because even i was shocked at how much she needed.

Looking forward to your next experiment

Thank you for your reply. It takes a toll to go rouge. Nothing for it. No way to tell the difference in more and different forms of B12 other than to take the chance. Not easy, for me it takes 30 days to evaluate the results and there are no tests to verify success and no way to compare one person's results to another's. There would be no way to compare results other than subjectively if we all did the same supplementation which we do not.

Possible the only reason some people need more and different forms is other people is they "need" better results.

It is helpful when those I love tell me to keep doing what ever it is that I am doing.

Interesting that your numb spots now itch. I had that with my lower legs. I had forgotten about that now it is gone. I used to call it my scurvy. 😀

Another difficult dynamic is that any change in my regiment leads to reversing out which I just have to trust is a positive result.
