I added the B-12 for fear expecting the pain to increase but to my surprise (knock on wood) it hasnt been that bad.
I dont know if it was the CVS brand of B-12 or what I am just thankful the pain is not what it was. I am going to purchase the brand everyone here is taking. I see my endo on the 31st and going to ask her to draw a B-12 level on me just to see where it is now. Was 245 back in August 08 was last test date
Thanks

I'm really amazed that they have a brand offering 250 mg of B12... so many are 250 or 500 mcg, which is minuscule.
I wish it came in 25 mg, that would be so good for me, since I try to use as much as my doctor had prescribed when she prescribed a B12 shot a day for a year, which is about the same as 6 of the 5mg lozenges of methylcobalamin a day... over a month that equals about a shot a day.
Also, the cyanocobalamin has to be changed into methylcobalamin by your body, so it isn't as fully useful as methylcobalamin used to start.
The problem with the very low limits being used to show vitamin B12 levels to be "normal" is very worrying to me. I think it must be done in support of drugs which are used to treat the symptoms of low B12 ... drugs which are a tad
more costly than B12.
