Do I remember something about B12 and MS?

In the last round of blood work I had my B12 was low - 237... anyone have any issue's with this?

Oh that is low. You need to supplement that.

We have some excellent resident experts on B12. Rose, MrsD

Ther are some great posts both in the Vitamin forum as well as the PN forum on B12.

I am sure that Rose will be around as well to answer this and add more insight.

But you need to supplemetn with atleast 1000mcgs of methyl B12 inthe sublingual form.

Often people have trouble absorbing b12. I think because it is a big molecule. Alson with that goes Iron. Both os mine were low. So make sure you have Iron and ferritin checked as well.

Good luck!

Low B12 can cause numbness.

And anemia.
Make sure when you supplement the B12 you supplement with Folate or folic acid as well.

I have a methyl b12 I get from iherb online called Bio chem. Its sublingual which Rose will tell you is the best absorbed.

My neuro was SO sure that numbness was just low B12, was he shocked when mine came back at 1059.

Hey Yabbit --

I've got low B-12 -- 345 is high for me!!! Which is still low!!

I take monthly B-12 injections! The oral stuff doesn't do squat for me. Find out what type of test they did and ask your doc if you need injections of oral supplements.

I tried the oral stuff and my body didn't absorb it...some people don't. I started out with weekly shots for 2 months, then every other week, and now I do once a month shots. Sure helps with the fatigue --- big time!!!
