Welcome to NeuroTalk...

I'd suggest you evaluate your B12 with your doctor. Get tested and you should be above 400pg/ml. Long term use of drugs for
GERD, which reduce stomach acid, lower B12 quite a bit in people using them long term. Labs still report low levels below 400pg/ml as "normal", and neurological damage can result at those lower levels. Treatment is OTC and easy, inexpensive with active methylcobalamin which is activated B12.

So that is one thing that should be done ASAP...if you are low you can develop damage to the spinal cord, which may not reverse if long term.
