Mine has been so severe that it is difficult for my neurologist to know whether he is treating the deficiency or the MS.
I take sublingual B12 on a daily basis. However, I have had a recent symptom increase and today I have a MRI and my blood work done and we shall see if my B12 levels are still good.
