People are all different.... low B12 can cause many symptoms and they may be different in different patients.
It can cause diarrhea...and insomnia (MethylB12 is a cofactor for melatonin synthesis--the sleep hormone)
Fatigue, nerve pain and paresthesias, weakness of muscles, visual disturbances and eventually blindness, anemia, and all sorts of symptoms. Sometimes low B12 mimics some symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
You should be taking it every day, on an empty stomach at least
1000mcg. Get tested every 6 months for a year, until you have a stable result. Stop the B12 a week before any testing.
You should be in the upper range or around 1000pg/ml. If you don't get up there, increase your daily dose.
