Hi guys,
I am a veteran to this site. I am sane because of the wonderful information I have found here. My health anxiety has made me over the years do what we all do best....research the cause of my illness...but I did so w my real illness, health anxiety because to me this is not normal! There has to be a reason why we think and worry like we do! I have a thyroid issue but I also have found out that I don't break down folic acid into methofolate. Most people think folic acid is just for healthy babies. That is not true though because Methofolate gives your brain what it needs to think normal rational thoughts. If you can't convert, Methofolate can be bought over the counter, but it can also be a prescription. My dr. Has given me Deplin, prescription methofolate and in 4 days I am back to normal! I took it a few years back and it worked. I am not sure why I stopped, but I started it back up 4 days ago and I'm no longer prodding at my muscles looking for cancer! I feel myself again. He also suggested that I take phosphatidylserine, 100 mg one time a day. I just wanted to share these 2 supplements bc it has really worked for me!
By the way, the genetic issue where you don't have the ability to break down folic acid is called MTHF gene and apparently 1 out of 7 folks have the abnormality and those w thyroid issues, it's 6 out of 7! Super common....number one symptom is terrible anxiety! Food for thought!
