I believe you can do quite a bit for yourself. Then if you need further help you could consider a specialist.

The MTHFR site allows questions. You can ask any you want there.

The heart of the issue is the methyl failure. So using methylB12 and methylfolate (in moderation), is a good start.

People who have B12 failures get nerve damage... when severe it is called combined degeneration of the spinal cord. I believe the peripheral effects are early on and as it progresses you get motor failure, blindness, dementia, and death.

We are only early on in the knowledge base of methylation failure. Even those specialist would be hampered by lack of knowledge. What is interesting from my point of view, the incidence of this has gone from 10% a decade ago, to up to 30-40% today. As research expands these numbers change.
