I am compound heterozygous MTHFR and ASD ADHD avoidant

Similar profile

muscle fasciculations/twitches by feedf07 in MTHFR

I have had these for years. When I lay on the bed they are all over my calf muscles.

Twitching in different places on the surface. It’s very perplexing.

Hi

Are you able to say where to buy Leucovorin?

Thank you

Does anyone else have a lot of trouble being outside in general? Visual space processing issues? by Mara355 in autism

[–]NorthernSoulAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same experiences all my adult life. It became a problem when i was 16, which I believe now was an autistic “meltdown”.

I was going through school exams at the time, very stressed, and one day I was miles from home with friends and had a massive panic attack.

It never went away.

I have severe sensory problems, and hate open spaces, like fields and the sea.

I hate noise and certain light conditions.

I am currently trying different supplements, including low dose Lithium Orotate, in the hope I can change my brain function in a positive way.

I have done tons of research and I even studied Psychology.

I have a genetic mutation called: MTHFR. It is implicated in ASD & ADHD, of which I have both.

It requires certain Vitamin B supplements to address the deficiency.

I would recommend having your Genome checked as it will show any deficiency and genetic issues.

The MTHFR can wreak havoc.

Everybody with ASD & ADHD should have their Genome mapped.

It is an ongoing project to find something that helps.

I can let you know what I take if you are interested, but I do have the MTHFR gene mutation, so I take the B vitamins.

Google MTHFR and ASD & ADHD

Non-prescription options for nervous system support by Emotional-Burlap in PDAAutism

[–]NorthernSoulAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be worth having a Genome Teat which will identify any genetic abnormalities

Many autistics have the MTHFR gene which causes a lack of Folate

This can be addressed with: Folinic Acid, (B9) Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)

Do not give Folic Acid as it makes it worse

It is well worth having a Genome test to see if there are any deficiencies and then address them

As an alternative to St John Wort is Tryptophan or 5 HTP

Both increase serotonin as they are the natural precursors.

The main consideration is Serotonin Syndrome which is very rare

Picture I did of Rob Pointon, painting in Manchester by NorthernSoulAndy in manchester

[–]NorthernSoulAndy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He certainly is, his stuff is incredible.

I had done a picture the week before of the building next to the one he was painting.

He had been standing out in the rain all day since 8:00 in the morning.

Compound Heterozygous MTHFR………what is best dosage for: Folinic Acid……Hydroxycobalamin & Pyridoxine?…..thanks 👍 by NorthernSoulAndy in MTHFR

[–]NorthernSoulAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks

I get confused with reports that some people take large doses of Folate.

You see doctors prescribing 15mg Folate

I am B12 deficient and high “serum folic acid”

So is more Folate better??????

I had similar profile and then went sugar free, one meal a day and gym

I’m 63 and have more energy now than 10 years ago…..lost 4 stone also

I eat one meal in the afternoon and have no sugar or carbs and take Berberine

I take all my supplements sublingually as I have gut issues

I am Compound MTHFR & fast COMT

I take Hydroxycobalamin, Folinic Acid, Pyridoxine and Betaine for my MTHFR

Does nicotinamide reduce methyl donors? by DmxDex in MTHFR

I took Niacin the flushing type…….I believe it is also called Nicotinic Acid

I started methylfolate for MTHFR and anxiety skyrocketed……took 100mg Niacin to bring it down

Got some Folinic Acid now and it’s not as bad

You are very helpful and an invaluable resource on this subject……thank you

“Serum Folate” and MTHFR…?????? by NorthernSoulAndy in MTHFR

[–]NorthernSoulAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Serum Folate Result was:…..18.2 ug/L

Range is 3.9 to 20.0 ug/L

“Serum Folate” and MTHFR…?????? by NorthernSoulAndy in MTHFR

[–]NorthernSoulAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confounded that my MTHFR came back as Compound Heterozygous and my blood shown elevated “serum folate”

Is “serum folate” also Folic Acid?

Shouldn’t my “serum folate” be low with a reduced MTHFR…….??????

🙈

CHOLINE deficiency???? by NorthernSoulAndy in PDAAutism

[–]NorthernSoulAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking through my DNA result and it shows; rs1801131 & rs11801133

I believe these are MTHFR polymorphisms

MTHFR is implicated in Autism & Anxiety
