“I'd also like to know if a person who has extremely low B12 for a number of years and it has gone unrecognized by doctors can eventually recover?”


Hi Lara, I’d love to know the answer to this question too. This is my current situation, and as mrsD says, it can take a long time for recovery. I’m just hoping in my case that I do get some type of meaningful recovery.

I’ve been supplementing with methylcobalamin for four months now and the results so far are negligible. The best I can say is that the nerve deterioration seems to have stopped and I can walk just a little bit better than I could before beginning supplementation with B12. I’ve also been taking vitamin D for the past three months.
