In reply to any ideas about what could be making me so tired?, posted by g_g_g_unit on July 7, 2009, at 6:52:29
> morning-
> 1000mg l-methionine
> 100mg b6
> 50mg p5p
> 80mg:80mg cal/mag supp x 2
> 500mg vit c
>
> night
> 1000mg l-methionine
> 30mg zinc picolinate
> 500mg vit c
> 80:80mg cal/mag x 2The calmag is a pretty low dose so it would not be my first suspect, though it certainly could be. I am extremely sensitive to mag. It depresses me and makes me very tired at any dose. I eat food choices with a focus on magnesium and it is ok that way, but not extra with supplements.You could try skipping one of those doses, or cut them both in half?
Vitamin C makes me very tired. I can't take it during the day. If I take it, it is at night before bed. Vitamin C slows down cortisol production. Again, I get it naturally. Fruit juice, about every 2 hours. It is ok for me that way, but not in supplements. If I take a C supplement, it is at most 125mg.
P5p is powerful. There is no way to know what it is doing except to stop it temporarily and see what happens.
Methione. Have you ever had silver fillings in your teeth? Methione is a fairly strong sulfur compound. It is strong enough to lift stored heavy metals in tissues such as mercury and lead, and get them into circulation, but not strong enough to hold onto them all the way out. In other words, heavy metals are stirred up. I know from my own chelation experiences that when metals are stirred up, chronic tiredness is the top symptom.
Lyme disease is worth considering. Read up on it and see if it might fit you at all.
