I can't take them, I have a defective gene. My gp says there are so many people. So I went to a natural path, they tablet have helped lot. Not so tired.

Yes I have I can't digest folic acid. You could have other issues. I got diagnosed with a defected gene MTHR. Get your doc to check it out. It costs lots of money unless you have a family member that has that issue. I now have the correct tablet b so I feel so much better. It is worth while to find out. I was always getting sick eating the folic acid food. As I don't have the enzyme I can't digest them. Good luck with finding the answer

Yes at 52, and fybo for last 8yrs, not to my knowledge that blood result for folate has been so low. It takes so long to get up on a morning, joints ache and lathargic, the smallest tasks absolutely sap what small amount energy left. Feeling dwn not much fun when you need help with cleaning the house shopping ect losing my independence slowly.

That’s really helpful to know as I could sleep constantly, even though it’s disturbed sleep as I’m sure we all suffer from. It’s also making all my fibro symptoms feel even worse because so many are similar to each other so it’s like having a double whammy plus I can’t do the slightest thing without getting breathless, which is horrible. Thanks loads for your help x

Asked my gp about it and all she said was it’s not worth trying anything as your body just won’t absorb it and there’s nothing else they can do! I know that’s not the case but they’ve just written it off as such! Would change gp’s but it means starting all over again from the beginning and don’t know whether I could cope with that either :(
