I am still taking the B12 but have cut down to 1MG per day, having got my level above 500.
I am worried about loosing strength in the right ancle & so are keeping up with the cycling as often as possible. Like everything that you have to do, it is becoming a chore & I find myself having to force myself to do it. I tell myself that I am still so much better off than others who can't get around at all.

I know you are not going to like this comment, but I have to say it.
Can you find another form of exercise besides the bike?
I ask because the recumbent bike at the gym I go to was awful on my feet and left ankle!
I think LP refers to lumbar puncture. (this can reveal MS or autoimmune factors, and sometimes they test for B12 in too)
