If you start to get symptoms like you describe again, don't just assume it's the MG coming back--consider the possibility of a B12 deficiency as well. There are easy blood tests for that.

Vegans recognize that their diet doesn't provide B12, and that raw-food vegans are at special risk (because processed food marketed to vegans is often fortified with B12). This is not controversial. Please be careful. I think the gut destroys B12 before the body can use it, so you need a sub-lingual variety, and you should have blood tests to make sure you're absorbing it.
