Hello,
I am new here. Really excited to learn about all of your symptoms and what you have come across that works. I have been obsessively trying to sooth my FM for the last ~20 years with little sucess, so I'm hoping some of you may have some tips for me.
I wanted to share with you all a recent experience that I had. I was recently diagnosed with partial complex seizures and one of my neurologist's reccommendations was to start taking Vitamin B12. I did, and became so sore that I could barely make it up the stairs to my office at work. My joints felt really inflamed, I was getting really irritable, I couldn't keep up with coworkers walking to the cafeteria. Very frustrating. It took me about a week and a half to correlate it to the B12. Then I remembered a test I had a few years earlier where I tested positive for two MTHFR mutations, which impacts your ability to process B12.
Has anyone else had that test?

I hate suggesting anything because I know the struggle of FM and we've all tried so many things that don't help. However, you may be interested in getting tested for this enzyme mutation. If you have it it can contribute to heart related issues and certainly absorbing B12. If you have it, you are supposed to take methyl b12. The regular stuff can be harmful. There are some good videos on youtube if you are interested in learning about it.
