Hey Lar,
thanks for that. I'll get back to ya when I'm feeling less tired and overwhelmed :-) ..been sleeping most of the time lately.
Felt my adrenals were getting a bit too pushed so stopped the B vits, especially B5 (twas taking 1/2 tablet(125mg?) a day on top of B vits) and DHEA (only 7.5mcg every couple of days) for cholesterol ..then realised it may be pushing my adrenals too far as my skin was thinning and beginning to bruise etc.
Also dropped taurine as I thought maybe it was increasing thirst...can do this maybe from research I think, and it didn't have any great effect on me.
Not sure if you've had a chance to look at this one in ths thread
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20050414/msgs/494956.htmlI know before I was confused between sulfation and methylation...I seem OK on the sulphation I suspect(although sulpha drugs never agree with me or my Dad a lot..if that is related at all), but I suspect maybe somethings up with the methylation due to my previous reaction to B12(methylcobalamnin only..not the adenosylcobalamin sp?), and ,maybe the dental anesthetic as well. I was hoping maybe to figure out one day where in that loop could be a problem that is overcome by taking SAMe.
..when I get the time and energy to find it again :-)
and of course if anything occurs to you (or anyone) about any enzyme or point in the pathway..it's like the methyl builds up ..thing of PKU analogy? , although only a (probably small)possibility though.
Your thoughts on the possible downregulation of something sensitive to SAMe make a lot of sense too. I didn't think of that...although I thought the tapering off might have allowed for it better than occurred:(-It sucks when you can't depend on a stable degree of health. I know that struggle too well.
Yeah..and it's so little before I reach my threshold too. I'm not up to "doing the experiment any more" either :-)BTW did you ever consider law as a career option..like arguing environmental-toxicological type cases for the people affected? Something where you can use your present training as well..just seems like something you'd enjoy and excel at. although I guess one needs some strength etc too.
