Default First chapter

A very weird day! And even now a I prepare to hed for the cave my vsion is screwed hp the wy it sometimes dets . I amnot going to worry about typos tonight so get used toit until morning.

Awoke at 6:00 AM and began the day by taking first sinamet while still in bed. Then followed that with Jarrow methylcyanobobulyn-5000. I had chosen a single 5000 tab last night and crushed it, mixed it with water to produce 500 drops of solution. That should be 50 droppers full at one ml. each if someone will check my math. Had a little stomache distress. Felt knotted up but only a minor amount. Was gone most of day but has returned bt no worse.

After about a half-hour from taking the drops I felt a "profound weakness" washing over me rather quickly and so retreated to the safety of my bed. I was oon weak as a kitten and stayed that wat until 3:00 PM at which time I revived over about a 30 min period. Have felt good ever since!

More detail tomorrow but for now g'nite.

verify this result so you know where you stand.

Our PNers here try to keep their B12 at 1000 because Dr. Snow found a subset of "normals" who improved with extra B12. He suggests treating anyway. His paper is linked in the B12 sticky on PN.
