[QUOTE="ChetRoi, post: 1963002, member: 468700"] [FONT=Tahoma]Hi [USER=498785]@KimVeld[/USER], Welcome to Carb Dysmetabolism 101 where we are pooling clinician experiences and information trying to feel our way toward a diagnosis. As you have seen, we have been grinding away at this syndrome for a year on this forum; some of us much longer privately. By sharing data about our disease(s), we have gained insight into that which we hope is a single pathology. The posts on this topic are spread across two threads and difficult to consume in their present form. It may be time, now that several of us have checked in, to establish protocols attempting to define the signs and symptoms plurality of this disease, as well as testing we have undertaken and possibly the results obtained, and finally conjecture of one or more suspect pathologies. I will be making a post on this proposal shortly. But let's talk about B12. With regard to your questions on it, in my case a B12 deficiency became apparent five years ago when I began a trial of the B12 cofactor known as methylcobalamin (not the commonly sold cyanocobalamin). If a person has a B12 insufficiency or deficiency, supplementation will effect a positive response within hours (often less than a day). That is what happened to me. Further, I noticed beyond the muscle relief, it also resolved patches of distal numbness that had begun to appear on my feet. At that time, I had not yet made the carb-numbness causation connection. What remains uncertain to me is whether the B12 deficiency is the primary problem secondarily causing the carb intolerance, or whether B12 is malabsorbed secondarily due to some upstream primary carb dysmetabolism. If you intend to begin a trial of B12, I would suggest a 1 mg sublingual lozenge of methylcobalamin perhaps two hours before you take carbs to learn if a difference from prior postprandial experiences is noticeable. Please post how it goes and any questions you may have. --Chetroi[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
