I had a bad emotional situation this morning. I felt dizzy in the shower and have felt a lot of nerve pains in my legs, and it got me pretty depressed and upset. A member on the antidepressant support forum that I'm a part of sent me some videos to watch. Ironically enough, the doctor in these videos discusses the MTHFR defect and methylation. He has this topical cream that he gives patients who have nerve pain, chronic fatigues, and emotional disturbances (he uses things besides just this topical cream, but that appears to be the staple he uses in everyone he tests with abnormal levels). I worry because he states that a high blood folate level (which it appears I have, >20), can mean that the folate isn't in the cells where it needs to be and is just floating around in the blood. He also states that homocysteine levels can become TOO low, and I'm wondering if mine is too low, at 7.2.

Here are the videos that the other member sent me. I'm not really sure what to make of this or his topical cream:

Here's a much shorter video (the above link is broken up into 5 parts, each about 15 minutes in length), where he covers some of the similar things from the above. It's a push for his product:

I'm now worried about my methyl folate levels. Is there any way to test for this?
