Default thank you so much

Hi Mrs D,
Yes, I gathered the pills here, in addition to a weekly shot of 1000mcgs of b12
I was/am supposed to take:
Active B6 caps - 50mg
B1 - 100 mg
Folic Acid - 1 mg
Super comples Vitamin E 400 iu
and
SAM-e full potency 400 elemental- highest concentration 400mgs kept in fridge.

I always took the sam-e on an empty stomach, and the others through the day with food.
I had the feeling that a little explosion went off in my stomach, and it hurt for
about 40 seconds, then a minute would pass and the explosion would occur again over and over all day long.
I'm luckily not a stomach achey girl. I had my gall bladder removed long ago.
I have medullary sponge cysts both kidney and am a stone maker ugh.

I have a list of maybe nine different amino acids I am deficient in.
I googled them all, and each said it is very "rare" to be deficient in.
Is this another clue?
I am not vegetarian, I eat from all food groups. I didn't know neuropathies can occur in your digestive track. Interesting. thank you.

orthomolecular
thanks too, I thought the SAM-e helped to metabolize the b12 and make it available, or assisted in some way?

hi rose,
thanks to you too,
I have been sick for three years before this nuero picked up on the 220 b12 levels. He also knows my old neuro said "It's too early in the disease to do anything about it" and I was fed up with her. She had done an lp that showed my spinal fluid b12 was fine, (with the range all things being relative I suppose) but the protein was out of range and she told me my lp was NORMAL.

Any way, sick with nuero problems escalating and only started the b12 this very year.
goofy brained today, went to doc for gait rite test, it's actually on this friday.
more and more mistakes like that every day.

thank you all for listening,
I appreciate any clues you can give me.
laura
