I discovered last night I made an error in the amount of methylcobalamin I was injecting. The methylcobalamin I inject comes in a vial l dry and I add saline. I made an error in concentration The amount of powder in the vial is 40 mg and I add 10 mg of saline which equals 4 mg per 1 mil. My error was that I thought it was 1 mg per ml.
I apologize for posting incorrect information.
I did a 30 day+- trial of adding methylcobalamin, 6 mg of SL adenasolcobalamin injecting more often and injecting no less than 3 hours apart and as my schedule allows. It worked out to most often three times a day a few times two and twice 5. Each injection when I started was 1 ml of Methylcobalamin and 1 ml of Hydroxocabalamin. On days of two injections this was actually 10 mg of B12. On days of three injections this was 15 mg and days of 5 injections this was 25 mg.
I accept that there is no known toxity of B12. I do not accept that what happens when more than 1 mg of B12 EOD positive or negative is known or even part of any medical research that I have read. I do accept that B12 is synthesized in 25 steps that are known and there may be an issue with any of them. Which I conclude is most likely why we are all different. Then there is the reality that everyone's body may use B12 differently once the B12 is synthesized.
So I am going to inject .25 ml/1 mg methylcobalamin no less than three hours apart up to 5 times a day as my schedule allows and regroup. Keeping all other supplements the same.
The trial was positive and I will likely post in comments on this post what my evaluation was prior to knowing my error and now that I am aware of my error.
I wanted to correct the information as quickly as possible.

>>Out of interest do you pee a lot as excess is got rid of this way .??
I used to pee a lot more than normal. With this trial my pee returned to normal. Guessing the more peeing was a neurological symptom. I go with that the increase of urination I experienced was not specifically peeing out cobalamin/B12. I do allow that as I take more B12 that there would be an increase in B12 measured in my urine and this does not correlate to an increase in volume.
>>What we're you unable to do say a year ago and now can?
--I can now swim close to twice as far as this time last year. I am at 3/8 of a mile. I swim that distance strong and do not lose my form from tiredness. I do need to rest the day after. It is not like this time last year as I do not need three days of intense recovery.
--I can remember words most of the time. Sometimes if I am tired in the evening it is harder to do.
--I have more energy and things take less energy to do.
--I used to have to plan some tasks in the morning when I was"fresh" now I can do them most of the time. It may take more effort as the day goes on. I can still do them.
When the pain was not the main symptom after I increased my injections after 1 year 3 months I have morphed into evaluating improvement based on energy levels through out the day for the most part.
For me there has been no new symptoms in my life. It is a matter of frequency and the symptoms became more acute as my life progressed.
I spent 1 year 3 months thinking I was experiencing "reversing out" when what was happening was I was using up my B12 aka not administering enough B12. Pretty much I gained much experience and knowledge in the first 1 year 3 months. Everything changed 5 months ago.
I thought that injecting the methylcobalamin with SL adenosylcobalamin might be a major improvement. I was still injecting hydroxocobalamin. I was unaware that I was injecting so much.
Due to spilling a full vial of methylcobalamin I substituted more hydroxocobalamin and there was a noticeable downturn for 3 days and I recovered in three days. Leading more credence to that the methylcobalamin was better for me.
Then some symptoms felt like they were wanting to return and I needed a lot of sleep including naps. I did wake up more refreshed and thought that the sleep was productive and a result of reversing out.
I had also made the change to injecting more often. I injected not less than three hours apart and a max of 5.
I did a test of not injecting after 5 pm to see how that affected my sleep. That was not a good idea although it may be later as I continue to heal. I am very aware that my body is changing and what was true before may not be now.
I have accepted the only way to evaluate is to do a trial and then subtract or reduce and see what happens. That sucks. It is the only way I know of.
I noticed that although my methodology was inject as my schedule allows I may have without knowing it limited my injections to lessen the reversing out.
I at one time went over my notes and it seemed that I did best during overlaps in timing of trials and concluded that it may have been from having more forms of B12 in my body and that may be correct. I also noticed that methylcobalamin with adenosylcobalamin may have been the cause.
So I am starting a trial of 1mg of methylcobalamin 5 times a day with 6mg of adenosylcobalamin SL. I did that yesterday and am going to start timing the trial as Aug 08 2023 to allow for a couple of days for the hydroxocobalamin to leave my body.
OK, After three days of not injecting hydroxocobalamin and injecting 1 mg methylcobalamin 4 times a day I now see my trial as positive even with the high amounts of Methylcobalamin. I am on a downslide. Hoping it is exhaustion and not fatigue coming back.
Unfortunately the cost of continuing that regiment is not sustainable. I ignored the cost and still have not calculated it. $1000.00 a month I am guessing.
I ran out of hydroxocobalamin and am going to use cyanocobalamin which is much cheaper in the USA. Not what I want to do but financial realities do matter.
Looking back the amounts I was taking may have caused healing too quickly and that was somewhat disruptive.
Ironic I think I know what works and can't afford it.
I will work on the sourcing and costs as soon as I am able. I can drive to Canada in 8 hours and will fly to another country if that works. That part of my brain is not working.
Where are you getting the methyl from? $1000 doesn't sound right unless you are getting it from the really expensive israeli site. Do you have/want our source list?

When can I expect to feel the effect from B12 injections?
