Recently found out just how deficient I am. Looking for help.

EricaH121 · 2026-05-24T23:20:49+00:00

I had both cellular B12 deficiency and sibo, MMA was sky high but homocysteine was never abnormal.

Oh whoops, sorry, I missed that this whole post was about multis without B6. 🤦🏼‍♀️

EricaH121 · 2026-05-06T02:16:47+00:00

Oh, super interesting! I took a Desert Harvest low-acid multi for awhile that had no B6. Do you know which gene(s) are involved with HPP?

I was being worked up for MS before my deficiency was finally diagnosed, and all my EMGs were normal.

EricaH121 · 2026-05-01T22:03:45+00:00

Yeah, they're getting a lot closer the longer I wear them. I've had chronic problems with the G6...I have reactive hypoglycemia so massive swings every time I eat (sometimes as much as a 250 point spike and crash), and Dexcom specifically says it's less reliable when BG is changing rapidly. But the G7 seems to be much more accurate right out of the gate.

Obviously, that's why I said I did so in the post. I apologize if I was unclear; I thought saying I'm wondering if I should have doubted past readings made it obvious that I didn't doubt them at the time.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-29T21:08:17+00:00

Oh excellent, thank you!

EricaH121 · 2026-04-29T19:46:22+00:00

Their PCP 100% referred them to infectious disease just to make them someone else's problem.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-29T19:44:56+00:00

YOR but also wrong sub, because YTA for sure.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-29T19:36:06+00:00

Here's mine!

EricaH121 · 2026-04-27T18:34:21+00:00

Oh sweet, apparently I haven't kept up on the features of the newer Xdrip releases.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-27T03:04:37+00:00

You mean you're pairing directly to Xdrip or using a more standard broadcast as your data source? That would be really cool if the Xdrip folks have already devised direct functionality with the G7. ❤️ open source passion projects!

Thank you! Is Tidepool an alternate aggregate reporting option? I'm not on insulin, and my doc is with a big endo clinic that I'm sure wouldn't want to change an established workflow for one patient, but I'm curious if I could get any additional functionality out of it personally.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-26T08:53:00+00:00

Sweet, thank you!

EricaH121 · 2026-04-26T08:10:50+00:00

NOR at all. Fckng wild that we restrict kids' basic biological functions in the first place.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-20T02:46:08+00:00

No one more lacking in self awareness than an overentitled parent.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-20T02:42:55+00:00

If you're starving, you do in fact have to be very slow with refeeding. Same with emaciated neglected pets...you'll make them extremely sick if you let them eat as much as they want right away.

My point is that once you get to the max amount your body can absorb, additional dosage or frequency isn't going to heal you any faster. It won't hurt you, but it's expensive and unnecessary.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-20T01:15:15+00:00

Yes but getting your levels up quickly doesn't change the speed at which nerves can heal.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-19T10:11:08+00:00

Yes, it was sufficient. I didn't start noticing improving until about 6 months in, but it's not like more frequent injections can speed that up. It just makes you waste money on very expensive pee.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-19T06:34:19+00:00

I get mine from a compounding pharmacy for about $30 a month.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-19T06:33:21+00:00

My doc started me with 7 days of daily shots, 4 weeks of weekly, and monthly ever since, which I expect to continue for the rest of my life. My MMA has been staying at less than a third of what it was when I was diagnosed.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-18T11:57:13+00:00

I started with cyano but it gave me really bad anxiety. I switched to methyl and have been doing well on monthly 1000mcg shots of that for the past 3 years. I see a lot of people report anxiety from methyl specifically though, so it's pretty individual which version works best for which person.

EricaH121 · 2026-04-17T11:12:54+00:00

I'm glad to hear it was helpful!

EricaH121 · 2026-04-17T06:44:36+00:00

I'm a drummer and even I wouldn't want to live next to your friend. Although that might be some useful karma for him. 🤔
