Since B12/folate in its more readily available methyl form is indicated for this genetic mutation, should I just go ahead and order it already? I've wondered about getting the actual genetic testing for it specifically, but my doctors are poo-pooing it (surprise!) since my homocystine levels are normal. My B12 levels went from 200 to 600 with injection cyano form, which my neurologist says suggests I don't have the MTHFR mutation.

My diagnosis continues to be idiopathic sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Numbness, tingling, mild burning pain, mild motor neuropathy in my left foot, muscle twitches, some muscle cramping (these jump around and come and go.) Problem is, no one but me much cares about the cause.


Hi there. I take 5000 Methyl B-12 every day and have done so for 8 years now. My levels are 2000. Thank god my doctor has a brain and understands all about Methyl B-12. I know others will come along and answer your questions. Lots of smart people on these boards. You keep doing what you are doing.

Regards, Melody
