Seeking help with Methylation Protocol
Hello everyone, first time poster.
Lurked for a long time here. I've tried so many combinations of supplements and other remedies, but I don't know where to go anymore. I just really really need to hear some external feedback.
For context; despite chronic lethargy and brain fog, I try my best to keep up with exercise. I've cut sugar and lowered caffeine intake, I avoid Folic Acid and eat whole grains, lots of legumes, eat a lot of dark leafy greens and hit a decent amount of protein. I prioritize high fiber. Try to avoid excessive oils and fried food. Overall, I also try to listen to my body and eat what it craves. I think I'm decently in shape.
But if any of these changes have made a difference, I can't really feel it in my current state.
I deal with frequent migraines, even more frequently after any form of supplementation. I deal with digestive issues which I'm currently planning to see a specialist for. History of anemia. But my main concern is energy and brain fog. Ideally, I want to minimize supplementation through pills and focus on getting what I need from food, but I'll do what it takes.
15mg L-Methylfolate + B12 works short term, but I feel like my body can't keep up for long. During my journey, I tried supplementing Folinic acid. In the initial stages, I had a short-lived episode where my brain fog was COMPLETELY gone, and I had a ton of energy. I was so ecstatic. Really bad crash after.
Now, I don't realistically expect to be an extremely high functioning person at the end of all this; but that window of clarity gave me so much hope that I can be at least a little bit normal.
Please, any and all feedback is welcome. I recently had a blood panel as well so I can post results too if needed. : )
