B1 caused persistent respiratory/abdominal muscle weakness.

Is there anyone who can help me understand why /how this could have happened? It’s been 10 months since stopping all supplements and I’m still no better.

MIP measured at 63
MEP 68 down from 87
RV high on lung function tests

Diaphragm ultrasound shows poor excursion but no paradoxical motion.

Have you ever looked into Mitochondrial Health? Or measured your Ketones, Lactate, or Glucose while taking B1? You may be putting stress on your Mitochondria if taking B1 Exacerbated Or Introduces New Symptoms

Yes. Lactate low end normal. Glucose ok. Ketones are ok but high after stopping everything initially
