--though I'm sorry for the situation that brought you here--probably preventable too, if the doctors had been more curious and probing.

I would DEFINITELY start taking the oral B12 in mass doses--probably 5000mcg/day to start--until your levels go up. Even with pernicious anemia, that large a dose allows a 1-2% passibe absorption by the small intenstine that should bring your levels up gradually--I imagine you'll need major B12 dosing for a long time, and probably supplementation for life, to allow as much repair as possible (and that repair is likely to be slow).

See the response of Mrs. D to your other thread--which includesd links to the B12 threads (she explains this very well--why oral is the way to go):
