I am sorry that this is happening. But I don't think the B12 is the issue. I do think she needs to be seen. If it is low B12, the oral form is too slow at this point. Once fixed with aggressive injections, one could maintain with oral. But something else could be going on too.

The elderly can get low potassium, diabetes, Alzheimer's, kidney failure, and all sorts of other things that give similar symptoms.

I think a visit to a doctor, is in order now.
