I buy the tagless shirts that a lot of companies are producing now. I hate the tagged t-shirts.

I also buy my clothing so that it's too large. (4x t-shirts) Because if it's loose fitting, it doesnt feel like it's trying to strangle me. I dont like it when my clothing feels like I'm being squeezed to death by a snake.

LOL, I hear that. I swim in my clothing. Baggy is good!

Hi, I was recently surprised by an article on my site about Dr. Chandy who practices in England. I'd forgotten that it said some of his patients with Multiple Sclerosis responded well to B12 replacement therapy...

When I read your description of how jeans no longer felt comfy, it reminded me that when I was very low on B12 I could barely stand the seam in my silky slip against my body...

And yes, I didn't have to have on my slip with its seam in order to feel the discomfort.

My "discomfort" felt like a third degree sunburn a lot of the time, but sometimes it was a more complicated discomfort.

B12 can play a part in how we feel when we have serious health problems aside from low B12. For instance, I had tetanus and couldn't get a doctor to see me because I didn't have enough money... later my home was foreclosed and I got to see the Homeless Doctor (not him, his patients) and then I was finally able to get the Metronidazol to kill the bacteria.

Which I mention because when I didn't have anything else to take I used a lot of extra B12 shots... and after a number of weeks my peripheral neuropathy began to go away, and then it went almost entirely away. I wasn't expecting that. I was just hoping I could keep breathing all night long, night after night.

What I mean is, B12 didn't cure my tetanus but it did improve how I felt...

Take a look at a list of symptoms of low B12, and if you are dealing with several of them, get some methylcobalamin lozenges and try them for a couple months, I'd say the 5mg lozenges, and keep notes so that you can look back and see if there were changes which you might have forgotten once the improvements grew familiar.
.

I have a vial of B12 and some syringes. Havent done that as a shot yet (hopefully the B12 is still good) I might need to refill that Rx if it's gone bad. (need to check with the pharmacist for that)

I have the wrong gauge needles for it (pharmacy didnt have the right kind) so I need to go find the right ones. My dad's a nurse, so he's going to be giving me the B12 shots. (cheaper than a nurse visit at the doctor's office)

Oh, for sure. The shots used to cost me $25 each until a doctor prescribed a vial and had his nurse instruct me on giving myself the shots.

I prefer the methylcobalamin lozenges now. I had so many shots that there was barely a place on my thigh left to give one... at first I didn't think the lozenges worked. But that was because I forgot that 1mg lozenge used daily for a month is about the same as one shot... so when I went from a shot a day to one lozenge, I was 29 shots short. So to speak.

I know it's not a cure, but it helps with a lot of symptoms.

The needles are intense, by the bye. An inch and a half... I was afraid to lose weight, I kept thinking I'd hit bone... lol

Sometimes I get that fingernails on a chalkboard feeling with certain fabrics. It drives me nuts. I have to dress somewhat professionally at work, but on the weekends I wear sweat pants and tee-shirts. Bras are also my worst enemy, and it's the first thing I take off when I get home. I also get a tight banding feeling around my abdomen and bra area.

My doc gives me B-12 shots once a month, and so far I haven't noticed much difference, but this thread has given me hope. Thanks!
