Hi, been lurking awhile and figured I would post my results for any comments regarding them..
Sorry for the wordy long post, its been a rollercoaster 3 years for me..

Background, around 2011 started getting bad pain in the morning in my hands and feet to the point almost my whole body would hurt from movement.
Exercise intolerance to where I had to stop working out.

Saw various specialists, neuro diagnosed me with "noninflammatory myopathy".
Creatine Kinase over 600 but inflammation markers normal.
Muscle biopsy shows unknown myopathy according to UCLA.
Have been moderately anemic for over 15 years along with tryiglicerides over 1000, doctors don't know why.
Plus testosterone steadily dropping the past 12 years, around 140 the last check.
I have had minor bouts of these symptoms since my 20s, now mid50s.
Im 6' even and 210 lbs with a job working on heavy equipment and I try to be active as pain permits.
I have spent a small fortune on vitamins and supplements because the pain was getting worse even on three prescription pain meds.

Sooo, long story short I found high dose riboflavin and coq10 helped relieve the pain enough so I'm off the pain meds and just using OTC ones as needed.
Genetic doctor thought it may be an unknown genetic disease not MTHFR and doesn't want to do much as my symptoms have gotten better.
Right now, I still have low endurance, exercise intolerance and edema issues I'm trying to sort out, some days good some days notsomuch.

After getting the 23and me results in October I went ahead and started freddd's methylation protocol except for leaving out carnitine as my levels tested high and taking it makes me feel blah.
Things are slowly improving, I have added every other B related vitamin and it seems to help.
I am not taking multi's, I did before and it never helped.
Am taking assorted amino acids like choline and lysine along with D3 and magnesium.
I overdid things with salt I think and am taking aprox a gram of potassium per day to help sort out the edema.

So here are the relevant detox, methylation and mito homozygous and heterozygous SNPs, I'll leave the ok ones out.
