I just read that toxicity from Flagyl can cause brain lesions.
Let me see if I can find that again.....

also there are reports of unilateral lesions on Google as well.
It is an example of a drug actually damaging the brain. So who knows
what yours could be from?

I'd take some acetyl carnitine just as insurance if you aren't already. Start at 250mg twice a day.

The D is good... not perfect but very close to my results too.
Considering how many people have results in the single digits, 43 is okay. My doctor wanted me at 70 but I've never made that goal. 50 is the "new" low norm now with the new research.
Given lab error possibilities you are very close.
Hi Mrs. D.
I went to the all natural store by me and brought l-carnitine 500mg. I didn't realize you had said 250mg twice daily. Is this ok? It was $30 for 60 pills what do you think?
Also, I do not take B12 supplements as I wrote before my level was 611. Should I take B12? I have a b complex here and I also have just B12. I brought them but then a doctor told me not to take any supplements because they are useless. Obviously, I disagree. Dko you think I should be taking B12?
Thanks, hopeful
