I found out also B12 deficiency, can cause a variety of symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, MS, unsteady gait, dementia, confusion, etc. I am actually going to get tested. The blood work numbers for the United States is too low. Above 600 in blood levels is where we should be according to Europe and the U.K. Ours haven't changed yet, blood levels suggest to be deficient in b12 is below 200, which leads to pernicious anemia. Doctors often misdiagnose B12 deficiency, it is not tested by many PCPs. It is especially important to get tested if you use any acid reducing drugs such as Prilosec. And anti-depressants, can also deplete you of your B's.
With all of my bloodwork, which is done every month, I ask my PCP to send me a copy of the bloodwork, plus a letter of her findings. This month, will include a B-12 test, and even if it is not low, I am going to go forward and ask for the shots.
