George, just now will supplement with K.

GB, this VitaminD dilemma has me intrigued, please start another post &/or I reread the previous. But as Julie pointed out ,in Dr. Permutter's article that with HSV history, VitD might help to inhibit reactivation. I think I will wear less sunscreen on my pale legs and supplement with 1000-3000units daily. My mom (3/4 with ADR Taq ++) had a VitD level of 20, now on 5000 units/day and is functioning well for 96.5. I presume you do not supplement with Vitamin D.

Sandraz, those are some of my favorite foods. Very interesting how a choline deficiency might boost the liver enzymes. So it's an egg snack every day now. Perhaps, it will take more months of supplementation, increase eggs and low-doses of estrogen, SAMe & TMG to lower this homocysteine from 10.6 to under 8.

Grateful for all this advise.

Apologies for going off-topic, Kit. We do that a lot

Asia, sounds like you may have a touch of NMH as well. Lots of fluids and extra salt helps for mild cases. Definitely carry supplemental fluid for a needle stick. Sorry you're dealing with this- scary. (((Asia)))

I wonder if compression stockings would help with the NMH when getting shots?

Good point Circular. I am looking at compression stockings for travel since I have factor V leiden. Now I'm thinking it's more of a useful investment than I originally thought???

Asia, excellent idea. Risk of DVT rises after three hours air travel. Not a bad idea for a long car journey either.

Maybe this new type of blood testing using just a "painless" finger prick will be the end of your fainting?! Looks like they don't cover all conceivable tests yet, but many and CHEAP! No doubt will be adding more ...

This looks amazing and promising.
