Jay1980, I understand your pain. B-12 can only help. I've only ever had the cyan version but I shoot myself and have for 10 years now. I find it very helpful in coping with with nerve pain. I probably don't do it often enough. But I notice you said you were mostly a "meat" kind of guy, for meals that is. Vitamin B-12 and it's little friends are contained in green leafy vegetables (and others) and we're really not able to store it in great quantities. So, adding some veggies to your diet can't hurt. Have some more salad and some broccoli in addition to your daily B-12. 'Just a thought.
