They are supposed to isuspect and investigate advanced B12 deficiency when symptoms resemble MS. But many do not do it at all, and most do not know how to do it right. Symptoms of B12 deficiency vary tremendously, so there is no typical presentation, but long undiagnosed deficiency often causes damage similar to MS. And symptoms can be severe before lesions show on an MRI.

See B12 threads on the vitamin deficiency forum here on this board. Do take this seriously. It is tragic to become disabled unnecessarily for lack of an expensive and safe vitamin in the appropriate dose.
