Regular GP still says it is not B12 and that it is normal. Symptoms have almost vanished from hands and feet. Also started oral B12 methyl cobalamin 1mg daily. Injections are finished but feel symptoms may be coming back. Do I need more injections?
Now going to Neurologist for conduction tests. What will they tell about B12?
What questions should I ask and what tests should I request?
Thanks to everyone here. It is scary to read all the posts but without this forum and pub med I would be lost. Thank God for the fact my regular GP went on holiday and the replacement was smart. Still not out of the woods as muscle twitches have started.

Robert imo you are very lucky to have found out it's B12 causing your neuopathy. According to what I have read you will need either the injections or B12 dosing orally for the remainder of your life. Please purchase the book "could it be B12"? it's all explained in detail.
Hope this helps.......
