Your B12 is TOO LOW! It needs to be above 400 (higher for those with neuropathy symptoms). It doesn't sound like you are taking B12 now...and you should be. MrsD is the expert on B12 and how much should be taken based upon your results. I do know you need to take on an empty stomach for better absorption. Hopefully MrsD will give you the details on B12 supplementation.

Thanks en bloc - I'll try anything now and will order more chewables as advised. It didnt make any difference last time but perhaps I need to chew more than one a day. I do know it's impossible to take too much. I also took a lot of folic acid for two years to address Methotrexate side effects as a folic antagonist - so I paid for private tests (can't recall what they were called Hemostecene and M something?) 18 months ago in case the folic had skewed the serum B12 results. I have these somewhere too so will look at Mrs D's B12 threads and go back to the B12 possibility again.
