Actually, I don't have any kidney issues but two of my siblings do and I don't want to invite trouble. Thanks for the links I will check them. I have not tried choline but it's worth trying. The thing is that if these supps work synergistically, then maybe I'm just wasting time and money when I cann...

I was taking Sunflower Lecithin but could not tolerate it, It gave me stomach distress. So, I'm back to B's and Folate to lower it...... You could still try adding creatine. I used both PC and creatine to reach 6.9 on my last test. Thinking I'll step up my creatine a bit in the absence of the PC. I...

Hi Susan: I have not done Cyrex 5 but in order to reduce homocysteine I was taking Sunflower Lecithin but could not tolerate it, It gave me stomach distress. So, I'm back to B's and Folate to lower it......

@roxanne - I absolutely have increased blood glucose with progesterone use. I must balance with estrogen in order to control the issue. With more estrogen, I not only feel better (better sleep, less anxiety/panic) but my blood sugar comes down every time. So the ratio of estrogen to progesterone is...

Richard: This letter is a testament to the human spirit. it can bend but it never breaks. Thank you, we all benefit from this. As most of us in this forum we have seen loved ones deteriorate physically and mentally but the bond we share with them does not break even when they are no longer with us. ...

Re A1c test, once a doctor sent my blood from the same draw to two labs for A1c (part of different panels), and the results were significantly different. Hi Circ: That is good to know because frankly, I'm mystified. It would be interesting to do an experiment and see what happens. I was so upset by...

I will try it for a month and see. Homocysteine is complicated. So many moving parts. If you haven't already looked at the wiki on methylation you might want to work your way through the homocysteine section. Do you track your food on cronometer or similar site? Sometimes the usual suspects are not...

If you're not getting side effects, then try it for a while and recheck. Homocysteine changes rapidly, so you could retest in a month and see.

Thank you Susan: I did not know that homocysteine changes rapidly. I will try it for a month and see.

Hopefully Susan, our MHTFR expert can give me her opinion on this. Seems it would be worth stopping the B vitamins. I'm finding that just because you have certain snps (like the MTHFR twins), it doesn't mean you need to supplement. You have to go by symptoms. You didn't have high homocysteine befor...
