Pattern of Improved Supplementation and Results of 5 day Trial

[WIZARD6787]

Current Trial (5 Days); 1.5mg methylcobalamin 3mg/ml, 1.5mg adenosylcobalamin 3mg/ml, 1mg hydroxocobalamin 1mg/ml. SC injection 5 times a day including setting an alarm to inject at night. 50 mg B6 in the form of P-5-P or pain from peripheral neuropathy returns.

The most recent improvement in my self treatment is maintaining the same amount and forms of B12 and increasing the concentration. The improvement is dramatic.

My current pattern of improved supplementation is I design and implement a change and then have an uptick followed by a period of downturn that I have seen as our body adjusting to the improved supplementation. Then overall improvement.

Note: I am in much better shape than 6 months ago and much better shape than this time last year. Not yet wonderful. I am in better shape than 5 days ago.

The downturn is a stuffy head and minor burning of lower legs. I also need more sleep and rest but nothing like before.

I'm not sure that the downturn is from our body adjusting to improved supplementation. It could be that our body is adjusting to too much B12 or too much B12 too quickly. No one knows as it has not been studied.

I could check my notes and see if what I am calling my current pattern is what I used to call my cycle when under supplementing. That has no value to me.

I am OK with being able to determine results in 5 days. I used to use 30 days and that was an error of conforming to the way the GP’s approach timing in the USA to meet their needs of profit and lifestyle.

Note: In the USA it was typical to wait in the GP’s office for three hours. This caused risk of COVID plume to the GP’s so that is solved and profit increased. Treatment is still mediocre if measured by the patient's experience and not the GP’s experience.

So I am designing my next trial. The rational options are:

–Maintain current regimen and hope.

–Increase Hydroxocobalamin by .50 mg then change concentration.

–Discover and explore other supplements.

-Increase frequency.

I noticed that a criteria was to avoid the downturn as it has no value in of itself. I did consider gradually increasing the Hydroxocobalamin to avoid the downturn. I think I will reject that as my current methodology has led to a decrease in downturn time and severity and gives me definitive information. Hopefully leading to where an increase in amount has no effect and then I can work on concentration and ratio of the different forms I inject.

I am going to do a trial of 6 times a day including setting an alarm to inject at night. Best possible outcome is that would not have any effect. Worse is it would result not in healing but a lasting downturn. Or some unknown effect.

Treating with the criteria of treating the most successfully is a hard task.

I have recently taken to preloading syringes for the next 5 injections. I inject three forms and this takes quite a bit of time. It will make injecting 6 times a day more practical.

I have also taken to bringing three syringes in a plastic bag with me when I leave the house. I label it “B12 Vitamin” on duct tape.

I have also prepared an explanation for any authority or someone who believes they are in authority. I understand there is no authority that has any jurisdiction over my injecting vitamins. I understand that many in authority are not as bright as they believe just like GPs.

I know and live I am not all knowing and in fact understand I do not understand. I love and am loved; everything else is just a guess. Just like everyone else.

“I have severe pernicious anemia and need to inject 5 times a day to prevent a relapse. Not unlike diabetes. It sucks but less than being more sick.” That is my opening statement to those in authority if they question my possession of B12 to inject.

As I write after going to eat my breakfast and getting sun on the shore of a lake it occurs to me all I am doing with B12 supplementation is determining as best I can the frequency, combination of forms and concentration to best effectively treat my having been B12 deficient. Same as the researchers and medical personal. The difference is I am the most important person involved in that treatment. I not them am the beneficiary of my treatment.

It may seem that I am myopic about B12 supplementation. That is not the case. Pretty much I make my choices each morning and then that part of my life is done for the day other than monitoring.

I have issues with intellectual accepting how life changing B12 injections are for me. Feels like you too can experience a life change. Just send three easy payments to Wizard6787. My study has led me to the understanding of how important B12 is to my body and therefore me. Makes sense it used to be fatal.

Until proven otherwise I am different in that I experience transcobalamin issues. Which is why I experienced what I did when under supplementing and why I am experiencing what I am currently with better supplementation.

A challenge right now is to not morph back into the run faster and jump higher hoping to recover mode that made it possible for me to thrive before.
