Is it safe to take with prescription meds?
Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,
My experience has been that I can't feel my feet because of PN. Once I got a stick stuck into my ankle and I didn't feel how it was getting infected until I could barely walk, and then even worse, I had a broken needle in my toe that I didn't feel.
I now know, for sure, that more B12 decreases PN and increases feeling and balance. I was having a lot of trouble with balance, too, but that's getting to be less a problem.
I'm curious, do you have ridges on your fingernails? and do you notice that your moons are beginning to disappear on some fingers? That can be a sign of B12 deficiency in terms of internal tissues.
