Another story of doctor not understanding enough and patient is suffering...

Well just to share..RN4Veterans... my wife had same symptoms for a while now ....all those you mentioned below plus heavy/long periods .
I think it's been more than 2 months now she has been taking methyl B12 ....started with 1000mcg then increased to 2000mcg per day as doctor said she is malabsorbing. This site was extremely helpful in getting more info. about b-12 experiences and special thanks to rose.

It's very surprising and sad that not enough research has gone into b-12 , may be because the treatment is simple and cheap so it does not fill up the bank balances of big drug companies !!

But to come back to point , my wife symptoms has not gone away in last 2 months or so ..she feels depressed irritated as she used to do before in addition to that sometimes she feels weird ...she cannot explain it . Overall I think her body resistance has increased ...slight improvement but not much . May be she has been deficient for couple of years now ..so it may take more time ..don't know ??

But it's always good to share experiences ..that's how we can learn more.
Good luck.
