I think you need better doctoring. Probably a new rheumatologist. Damn, I'd be so ticked off about the interstitial lung disease being missed. That'll cause your O2 sats to drop. Idiots.

Hang in there.

I have a brief comment.... B12 is absorbed orally if taken in megadose 1mg or 5mg on an empty stomach. This is passive absorption, (with no intrinisic factor). If you are intact with intrinsic factor more than the estimate of 10% is possible.

There is a new formulation of oral B12 coming that is about 50% absorbed.
Here is my B12 thread for those interested:

The best form to use is methylcobalamin orally, since some people cannot activate and methylate cyano form properly.
