Yes, you are right on about that. Many do fall through the cracks and continue suffering.

If you decide to do under the tongue you need to do that on an empty stomach. The B12 (methylcobalamin) is dissolved in the saliva and absorbed orally. All oral B12 should be done on an empty stomach. (nothing much is absorbed sublingually).

Looks like I may have to use the injectable B12 but will try holding the oral one under my tongue to see if this works. It sure is scary when the symptoms come back. I really freak out.
My GP still denies it is B12 but I have seen two other GP's in clinics for injections that are more understanding. Out of six medical people in the last six months two understand PN and B12. There must be a lot of people misdiagnosed and suffering terribly.
