Thanks for responding! I've found a very informative naturopath and with all the reading that I've done here I'm on 5mg of methyl-B12 now as apposed to regular B12 supplements. My doctore told me I have a level of 199.

Perhaps a small introduction is needed? I'm 32 and was diagnosed with IBS in my early 20's. Since then I've made dietry changes such as eliminating gluten, going on 4 years, and now more recently I've cut way back on my sugar. These changes seem to have allowed me to at least have somewhat of a normal life but this past summer I started having severe bouts of fatigue and noticed that I really haven't had quality sleep through just about my whole life. My spinal cord is tense most of the time and I suffer from lower and upper back pain almost daily. List of other symptoms would take a whole page. I'm only 32 damn it!

On top of the B12 I'm taking 5-htp and melatonin and notice a huge change in my sleep.

It scares me to death what neurological damage may have occured but I've had major learning disabilities and reading and comprehention problems my entire life.

When will I start to see changes? How does one know of the damage that has occured? Will I noticed better comprehention and focus or do I have to face the fact that I'll never have it!

It's hard because I have a high demanding job in Telecommunications that requires a lot of thinking and learning! Some days I wonder what I got myself into.

Thanks for responding and listening.
