Are you doing the magnesium? That is a suggested treatment for EM you know.

Do you know your B12 serum level? If it is not low, then you don't need to take the B12 if it bothers you. But I would look at this carefully, and see if with time, you could sustain it.

If you have not had the DNA tests for the MTHFR mutations, you don't know if you are not converting folate to active methylfolate in the body. This is a pretty common genetic problem. 10% at least in US, and one doctor came on one of my threads here and suggested new data that up to 30% have this genetic failure. If you do and cannot use the folic acid in your food or supplements you might try taking the B12 with l-methylfolate. Solgar makes it OTC and is the most affordable. It is called Metafolin by some. The RX vitamin Metanx has both methylfolate and methy B12 in it, for this reason.
