The past 9 months have driven me crazy. Yes, I’ve had high
energy, need less sleep, need way fewer naps. I’ve felt brilliant in social
situations.
The downside is that I’ve been super irritable and breathtakingly anxious. I am so fortunate that my partner is patient and easily accepts my anxiety as “no-big-deal.” He
handles my moods far better than I do.
When I’ve consulted my “healers” – my spiritual and medical intuitive
and regular MDs who use the EAV biofeedback machines all told me to keep up the
MTHFR and the methyl B12. In fact, they have suggested I take as much as 2800
mg MTHFR a day. This advice didn’t make sense considering my inner tension
Something was really “off.” And what was “off” was me. What
could possibly be causing – all at the same time – a shingles outbreak near my
lower rib cage, herpes and a mosquito attack? Since I had no idea what shingles
was, I thought those bumps were bug or mosquito bites. When a bite happens, I
use scotch tape. I put a piece of tape on the bite as a scratch inhibitor and
to draw out the toxins. Whenever I feel irresistibly and
unconsciously drawn to scratch, the tape creates a barrier. This works like magic. But let me tell
you, those shingles hurt so much when I pulled off the tape. Ouch!!! So don’t
put tape on shingles. Concurrently I had
one or two herpes spots (which I haven’t had in over 30 years), and for some
odd reason, I acquired about 30 mosquito bites all over my face and neck. (No
one else got bit. Weird!) Towards the end of our Sedona vacation, I was wearing many pieces of tape all over –
well, all over everywhere. At the same time I was feeling super sexual. Fun and
misery combined.
No matter what any expert said, something was way wrong. I
seemed to be reacting to methylation in very “off” ways. I slowly cut back and
the shingles and herpes retreated, then disappeared. The mosquito bites healed
as they usually do. But it wasn’t until I went cold turkey – no MTHFR and no
methyl B12 that the eczema vanished. Virtually overnight.
Did going off the methylation products hurt me in any way? I
don’t think so. My personality became a
bit subdued and I was disoriented mentally, but I seemed fine. If I were to
quick diagnose, which as we all know is a questionable practice, I would say that I had worn myself out. My nervous
system and my adrenals had worked overtime for perhaps 6-9 months. I was
listless. I decided to simply let it be for a while.
Which lead me to consult with a new doc – a naturopath who after
studying my genome print out from www.23andme.com, wrote a prescription for
thyroid and suggested I return in 2 weeks. As if. He didn’t explain anything to
me. He then handed me yet another food-restrictive diet. Again, no explanation. So
much for visiting that doctor again.
He did get me thinking, though, so I found a homeopathic remedy
in my drawer for Adrenal Support. It contains thyroidinum and I’ve been taking
10 drops 3 times daily. I’ve perked up a bit and am now ready to do some
serious research and try to learn all I can about methylation, my personal
genome and what it’s all about.
