Deplin
this is the drug i will be going on
i have much hope i am thrilled to learn what i just have love me |
Eva, I take otc methylfolate and have been for several years.
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/0...epression.html Good luck with it. Most days I take 800mcg of methylfolate and it's in my homocysteine formula I take to lower homocysteine levels. It's the best form of folic acid. |
Eva, just talking to my friend who put me on to the Methylfolate issue a couple yrs ago, she knows a lot about this folate and says make sure your B12 is sufficient. The extra folate intake can mask B12.

Eva, it is good to read that you have learned that you have a MTHFR mutation - those mutations can have many adverse effects
As far as I know their effects can be overcome by taking appropriate supplements, I think that mrsD is the resident NeuroTalk expert on this - maybe check out her posts or send her a PM - I am sure that she will be able to give you good advice about how to use supplements. All the best. |

DEPLIN has been shipped
I have had a heck of a roller coaster ride
Getting this very important vitamin It was explained to me by the company nurse I do not have to take any additional supplements That it SHOULD be all I need to take I was wondering It is to cover so many areas I am anxious to start it Not much feedback Will look to MrsD for any advise I still yet to get it into my system Will keep posting Should anyone else be recommended to try DEPLIN Me |
Eva, Deplin is a trade-name for L-methylfolate.
What that means is that it will increase the levels of L-methylfolate in your body, which are probably low because of your MTHFR mutation. I am sure that mrsD will be able to offer you more detailed advice than I can but in the meantime this general information might help you; http://www.drugs.com/cdi/deplin.html. As far as I can see Deplin has an excellent reputation and I really hope that it works for you. |
Am I misunderstood
Dear informative friend
I have no doctor on my very important train that I'm driving I yet to find a fairly decent general practitioner to get on board and take me seriously As we speak I will be seeing my OBGYN for my annual check up never in my history knowing this body well since a young girl and have been on spot about everything This be the truth I just fired my shrink having been asked by the insurance company for my profile If I'm paying for my bloody insurance As it is deducted from my ssd income And in addition copayment and coinsurance deductible I am paying for services I EXPECT TO GET how can that happen WHEN NONE OF MY VERY IMPORTANT DOCTORS ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND IM TIRED OF EDUCATING THEM what I am saying Not my shrink who dispenses meds (7 yrs) Not my pain specialist (8yrs) Maybe my oncologist asked me to bring in the information on the subject (on board the last four years after double mastectomy anniversary 1-9-12) My OBGYN hasn't a clue until I see him today annual pap I missed last years as he was busy delivering babies the office called to cancel my appointment that I would get a call for rescheduling NEVER HAPPENED this year I must go I except for last year never missed my annual Here is what I mean Never say never I am going to pray he sees the connection Lets see who else I have had check ups on my skin dermatologist I had my colonoscopy (clear) that in itself is awesome news as this mutation and I positive of one of the two variants with a high homozygous Foot dr, dentist not as often with my neck shoulders and back yes the pain is that great As a matter of fact I live on the 19th floor Getting on the elevator is excruciating Nevertheless This is how I take care of me and my children I like to practice PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE however I am finding out the doctors really aren't paying attention For example My ex ENT I needed to see for clearance for second surgery was told upon looking at me not my report or the reason I was sent there expressed he did not believe I had a thyroglossal duct cyst Now I have reached Being so long winded for oblivious reasons Oh just remembered My reconstructive surgery (BOTCHED LEFT IMPLANT HAS WHAT IS CALLED A "DOUBLE BUBBLE" was lied to for two years until my oncologist requested me to go back to him Turns out they are racquetball partners Go figure What are the chances with my luck So Not one doctor seen the red flag And that is I have tested positive for the MTHFR MUTATION and now the connection that the ONLY WAY one acquires a cyst such as mine and the "neural tube defects" it will cause as in my case all is true because of the findings of this very sick degenerative inflamed body Not any of the above doctors get Nor do they seem to care SO I feel lost and alone Why would I be not be told As I asked the right questions because of my homework the conflict If it is the SAME meaning DEPLIN just another name for L-methylofolate am I being lied to I have no understanding and the array of vitamins I was asking of Still no clear understanding is and could be quite expensive I am on a very tight fixed income It S.U.C.K.S I not only want to limit the amount of things I put in my mouth Is enough already So the thought I am being misinformed And that taking 15mg DEPLIN in tablet form AGAIN SHOULD (this is gray for me I admit) Yet this is what was explained to me ONE tablet I am so confused at this point I don't know if I'm coming or going Hope I'm better understood And look for any support here on NT THANKS Me |
In short.... The MTHFR mutation affects B12 as well as folate.
If you are not methylating B12 then you do not have active working B12. Taking high dose (and you are taking mega high dose) methylfolate and NO B12 to balance it, will lead to neurological damage. This is why Deplin is an RX item to prevent people from misusing it. https://umm.edu/health/medical/altme...-b12-cobalamin do you know your B12 level? Many doctors still do not know that 400pg/ml is the new acceptable low for B12. Did you check the links I gave you? Doing your own supplementing of Bcomplex, methylfolate and methylB12 can cost only about $40 for 3 months supply...and you are paying more than that for one month? I would suggest you supplement AT LEAST the methylB12 yourself. It must be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption. It will only cost you pennies a day. |
