I might have had a B12 deficiency but i was using sublingual methylcobalamin 5mg so this helped with certain b12 symptoms i had.

I have been seen by a neurologist and he has done EMG and nerve conduction studies and apparently something is wrong with my nerves, their is some damage their. He notes to the peripheral nerves.

We don't know what is going on yet but he sent me to do a Brain MRI, Spinal MRI, and blood tests. He also wanted to exclude MS from these tests.

One question i have is it always necessary to be injected with MRI contrast when doing brain or spinal MRI's? can these tests be performed without these dyes?

I did a pituitary MRI last year and was injected with a contrast containing gadolinium this also made me break out in hives. I did a hair analysis (to check my mercury levels) and my gadolinium is now elevated so i don't need any extra heavy metals added to this and i refuse to be injected with radioactive dyes of any kind. Gadolinium is a rare earth metal it is never meant to be injected into a human being
