I am feeling a lot better, thanks! still not the same person and have problems that I need to continue working on but better none the less.
I don't remember my actual b12 level off hand but I believe 1000mg was the recommended high level and my b12 was at 9xxmg. |

Feeling better and stronger is a very good start.
 The only thing I can think of right now is some evening primrose to go with that flax. They sort of work as a team. You don't need a high dose, just one cap of regular type, daily. If you had pain/inflammation issues, I'd suggest fish oil too. Males don't convert to long chain EFAs EPA/DHA to the extent females can. So the primrose helps the flax get to the long chain stage as well.

I am sorry for all you have and are going through. I too was going to suggest if you can see a nutritionist but are you able to eat any food or will you be able to? If so then a nutritionist who deals with similar conditions and that can work with your gp may really help. I was going to suggest magnesium but could be wrong but because of the muscle problem you stated. Not sure but what about vitamin c for healing? Feel better

I exercise 4-6 hours daily and have gained about 30 pounds in the last 2 months.
I will definately research both of your suggestions. I cannot take fish oil though as I am allergic to seafood. I have visited two nutritionists and both have replied that "Jevity is fine" but I never seemed to progress with just Jevity. I believe they're both used to 80 year olds in nursing homes not active 27 year olds. |

Evening primrose seems like a supplement for woman's health?

Evening primrose contains GLA... GLA is an intermediate
step in essential fatty acid metabolism. Without it you cannot convert flax to long chain fatty acids in the body. Magnesium and B6 are also cofactors in this metabolism. It is encouraged for some female complaints, but it is a nutrient for other things too. The female recommendations are high dose typically. For you for just conversion to other fatty acids, a lower dose is fine.

Boosted as someone who has seen a lot of nutritionists it is very key to find one that specializes in the condition you suffer. Otherwise I feel almost more harm then good can come. Now this is just my experience. Is it part of your condition or from meds you have gained that weight? Will you be on this tube for ever or will you transition to just food? Hope you feel better
