I had a low b12 level when I went to the MS Clinic last June. (345, I think?)

When I talked to my doctor about it and he tested me again in November, it was in the 550's. Which he said was normal. But, he did say that if I wanted b12 shots, he do them if my neuro said it was ok.

So, I started B12 injections in december. I'm going to get them every month or every couple of months.

I havent supplemented it with folic acid, other than eating asparagus with dinner, and also eating a lot of fresh spinach salads.

I love asparagus, but for some reason it makes me pee a lot...and I'm one of the 40% of people who can smell the scent asparagus makes in urine. (sorry if that's TMI)

I noticed that a few days after I got my b12 shot, I started getting more numbness in my legs and thighs. I dont know if the numbness has anything to do with the B12.

I'm probably going to go in a few weeks and get another B12 shot.


I also found out recently, that one of my nieces has to get b12 shots. She has autism, and she just got genetically tested for some gene that is associated with b12 deficiency, and she had the gene, so they recommended that she get the b12 shots. The gene is also associated with autism AND multiple sclerosis. (not sure how, I havent been able to find out much about it)

Hopefully my niece doesnt end up with MS eventually.
