Added Extra Methyl Folate

 Good news.  If I limit my NAC dosage to 2 pills per day in divided doses, I do NOT need mega doses of Melatonin.  5 mg is all I need and there will be no ill-effects on that dosage.  I can't tolerate mega doses of NAC but 2 pills are fine.  

The last time I checked in, I was having trouble with Endodren, which is what SHOULD happen based on my chemistry.  Even better, the Thym Adren didn't appear to move the needle one way or the other.  I was slightly slower the first time but on the last run before Christmas, I saw a small gain.  Still, it was not enough to be considered significant.

Things shifted on Christmas Eve and I didn't even have to run to tell that something was off.  I was able to determine that it was an adrenal spike and I was back on mega Thym Adren.  The spike didn't really go down after I got back home.  I made one feeble attempt to run, which was a 1 Mile in 9:45.  I faded down the stretch and was totally spent at the end.  Splits were 4:40-5:05.

I got the idea later on that day to try extra Methyl Folate in order to possibly trigger a detox reaction and eliminate the adrenal spike.  MF by itself really didn't do anything even at large doses.  BUT. As soon as I took it together with the Melatonin, WHAM!  It felt like I got hit by a truck.  

Endodren actually HELPED but I've decided not to rely on that stuff.  I finished the bottle and pitched it.  It must be NAC to manage the detox symptoms.  I was hoping that the extra MF would increase the tolerance to NAC.  Unfortunately, that's not happening.  I still have to limit it to 2 per day in divided doses.  That means that I can only take 1 extra MF pill or the detox symptoms will be unbearable.  WHAT A MESS!
