Mrs. D - I just learned that I have the MTHFR Mutation. I'm taking methyl b12 supplements; does this mean I also need a different form of folate? As an FYI: My most recent blood test showed:

Pyrrole Disorder
High Histamine
Zinc Deficiency
MTHFR Mutation
Elevated Copper

I failed my second EMG that concluded evidence of a length dependent axonal sensorimotor neuropathy. A cat scan of my lungs showed evidence of inflammation - although I do not have any congestion. They want to repeat in 3 months.

I am feeling much better thanks to meds: Cymbalta, Neurontin and low dose of Xanax. Are there any nutrients you can recommend? Any additional testing, or do I just need to wait and see what develops?

The big three items IMO for PN are
methylcobalamin
Folate (perhaps methylfolate)
magnesium

The 4th is Omega-3's.

As the days and weeks and months pass on these forums more and more patients are getting the DNA testing for MTHFR mutations and finding they have this genetic problem. When these common factors are present, you cannot methylate (activate) folic acid and cobalamins in food.
You may have difficulty making certain neurotransmitters properly. The testing is not expensive.
