I Think I Found A Possible Cause and Definite Treatment for RLS
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2020 6:02 am
I think I am on to something here with the RLS cause and treatment regiment. I am dead serious. I'm a 48 year old white male with RLS and the MTHFR gene mutation. I, recently as of tonight, was able to treat my RLS with a methylated form of B12, Adenosylcobalamin 1000mcg. My RLS symptoms subdued within 10 minutes of dissolving the tablet under my tongue. I am so excited I cannot sleep. I think there is value in conducting research on the correlation between RLS and the MTHFR gene mutation.
I discovered that I had the MTHFR gene mutation when my psychiatrist ordered a Genomind mental health map/assay.
Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase
(MTHFR)
C677T:
T/T
A1298C:
A/A
[Low activity]
MTHFR is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of folic acid to methylfolate
which is a cofactor needed for serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine synthesis
Risk for reduced MTHFR enzyme activity and reduced methylfolate
production
L-methylfolate supplementation of SSRIs and SNRIs show improved
symptom reduction and medication adherence compared to SSRIs/SNRIs
alone in Major Depressive Disorder
L-methylfolate may be an effective monotherapy for patients with Major
Depressive Disorder
Therapeutic options:
L-methylfolate may be used if
clinically indicated
