Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Claudene, Hyroxocobalamin is injectable form of B12. It is best absorbed intramuscular. You really can not take too much of the drug, as it is water soluble. It does take several months for it to help you, so you need to take it consistently. After that time, it is a lifetime commitement, as you will probably never make enough on your own. If you unable to get a prescription for it you can take Methylcobalamin 5000 mcg tablets every day. You have to use it sublingually to get the maximum effect. There is quite a bit of evidence that if you are hypothyroid, low ferritin, low B12, problems with cortisol, that you may be gluten intolerant. If you are gluten intolerant, you will never improve until you maintain a gluten free diet. Even Diagnos-Tech discusses this fact in their cortisol panel. If your 12pm cortisol has fallen more than half of your morning cortisol, this is a possible sign of gut involvement. This was the first clue that I had gluten intolerance. My noon dropped to one-fourth of my am level. After having genetic testing, I am gluten intolerant. It will interfere with any vitamin/mineral that is absorbed in the small bowel...ie...B12, Iron, Vitamin D. My ferritin level is finally optimal without supplemention. Your noon cortisol plummeted from your am dose. It is worth a look, to determine the root cause of your problems. Like everyone else on this forum, we eventually come to the realization that there is NO quick fix. One thing that is for certain...slow and steady wins the race! Progesterone is in the cortisol pathway...worth a try. It may work, and it is important to maintain an optimal estrogen/progesterone ratio.
