Default A couple of questions

Hi,
I have posted a couple of times on here, and now I have some more questions.
A quick rundown...My b12 was 153 in July 09. My TSH was 6.450. I saw a doctor last Thursday. She ran blood tests, and then gave me a B12 shot. I have to wait for a month before I get the results.
I am taking Jarrow B12 5000 mcg daily, to supplement. I know it is known that you may feel worst before you feel better, because I feel worst than ever before. The fatigue and weakness being the main culprit. I also have horrible burning in my right foot, and tingling pain, in both my feet and hands. One of my questions is, is this nerve damage from low B12 for so long...and how do doctors access that?
I also had an injury to my neck in 93..subluxation, and have really been having problems lately. I had an MRI done in 08 that showed a lesion in my brain. Would this cause the pain or a residue from the accident?
My doctor did not prescribe me anything except prilosec for my stomach because she is waiting for all the blood work. I am taking the B12 on my own. She said I would get 1 shot per month..
I am trying to be patient, but I want to be proactive in my own health. So I would like to know if there is anything else I can do while I wait on the doctor...
I have other issues, but with my brain fog it is easy for me to be frustrated trying to remember...
I appreciate any suggestions anyone can give me...
Have a Blessed Day..
Deb
