Current Trial;
Inject 1.5mg hydroxocobalamin, 1mg adenosylcobalamin, 1.5mg methylcobalamin 5 times a day including setting an alarm to inject at night to prevent my body from a period of time without enough B12 available for healing. 50 mg of B6 in the form of P-5-P twice a day to prevent B6 deficiency and the accompanying peripheral neuropathy. I never experienced cracking lips and tongue. I did experience ‘cold sores’ sometimes associated with stress. (I include my current regiment as I find it helpful when I know a person’s perspective is influenced by needing less robust treatment or they are still suffering with their current self treatment. And to give some indication of how my perspective is influenced.)
My stuffy head and mucusy has been the bane of my life since I started treating B12. The mucusy has all but resolved and the stuffy head seems to be headed that way with the current regiment.
I have associated my stuffy head with B12 deficiency and am intellectually exploring that it was a result of my under supplementation and now it is the result of experiences that outpace my current ability to heal. A major factor is that I experienced life long symptoms of functional B12 deficiency due to transcobalamin issues progressing to PA and three years of under self treatment. That my stuffy head is a sign of healing from B12 deficiency, my body finally being able to do what it can to heal resulting in the stuffy head seems probable. Prior to this I experienced swollen glands, mucusy and joint pain which may have been a sign of my body healing or being able to finally. That has resolved since not under supplementation of B12 other than the stuffy head.
Although I was not diagnosed and was often misdiagnosed current protocols for diagnosing B12 deficiency would very unlikely have detected my functional deficiency and there is the reality of the lack of ability of medical personnel to diagnose by symptoms. They think they are skilled and reality is they typically have the same level of skill which is minimal with symptoms, typically leading to look for a cause they can test for or not accepting the symptoms a person does experience. I see no reason to believe that training or more awareness will change this methodology of diagnosing.
I have for the last few months kept my exercise as consistent as possible so as to not confuse the information I was obtaining from my trials.
I am thinking now it is appropriate to use my stuffy head as an indication of the effectiveness of whatever exercise regimen I design to heal.( It will not be rigid)Pretty much if my level of exercise over time starts to result in my stuffy head then I over trained and need to stop and recover. It will be hard for me not to just push on through as I have done my whole life and got away with until my body could no longer adjust to my B12 transcobalamin issue resulting in detectable B12 deficiency due to being close to death.
There will also be the factor that more exercise may result in better utilization of the B12 that I do inject which may cause my stuffy head as my body heals or some unknown effect. Such is the nature of exploration and discovery.
My challenge right now is that I feel better and start to think of reducing and what is rational is to design and implement another trial. That will take discipline and the knowledge that I will be pleased if the trial results in more effective healing and pleased to have the information if it does not. I am sick of this work even though my work has been instrumental in my healing.
We are all different and all deserve self treatment that is effective. We all have different experiences related to B12 deficiency due to different ways our body utilizes or does not utilize B12 and we all choose to treat differently and experience different levels of healing.
I now focus on treatment which is all but unstudied and I see no reason that will change. Unless A biomarker is discovered for the complex issues of an autoimmune disease. None of the past work of research on B12 has led to any improved treatment which I expect to continue.
Because of my effort I do now have a working knowledge of four forms of B12 and all combinations and how they affect my body. It is not as simple as trying them all. It is a thoughtful process the way I do it. The knowledge leads to how to successfully treat which supplementation is only one part.
No one knows why the different forms affect my body the way I have discovered other guessing from petri dish results. I know how each of them does.
My approach has the unexpected result is as I know how the different forms affect my body I can adjust competently should one or more forms become unavailable. I can likely design a way to treat with sublingual.
What may happen in the future or should happen is not my concern until it happens.
B12 deficiency- are my symptoms normal
