2 tablets a day and not a single cyno B12 shot. After 3 weeks, I am starting to walk a little more normally and feel like I can get thru the days better. My major twitching and seizure like episodes are almost gone completely.
Haven't started any of the other vitamins, as I wanted to completely isolate the B-12.
Wish I had ran across this site 5 years ago

I am relieved for you that you are responding to the methyl form of B12. Keep at it...remember --empty stomach! It will take some time to build back up... months and maybe years!
Once you start to feel better, you need to investigate whether you have that MTHFR mutation. 23andme is offering the DNA test without a prescription for $99.

For your magnesium you can do the lotion which is new or epsom salt soaks.
The lotion:
http://www.mortonsalt.com/for-your-h...-epsom-lotion/
This is available at WalMart ($5.98 in first aid section) and online so far at Amazon for a bit more $$.
I use only a quarter's diameter on areas of my skin that are thin, like the wrists, back of hands and inner arms. I also use on my feet sometimes. If you see superficial veins, that is where rubbing it in will get into the blood easier. You can use it anywhere, but where there is muscle and fat, less will get past that area into the blood. It rubs in quickly with no mess, and has NO fragrances either. You might be able to get off that HCTZ if your blood pressure comes down with the magnesium lotion.
It did that for me dramatically. Discuss that with your doctor, before stopping however.
The magnesium and B12 (and also Vit D when you get a chance to have testing) are the first big THREE things to fix. You are wise to wait, to see what else you may need.
B12 fixing...has ups and downs...so if you have a flare, esp with bad weather, don't despair right away. This comes with the healing.
