Find yourself some good quality methylcobalamin B12. I personally like the Jarrow Formula brand (5. mg.). Take at least two tablets a day!

They might want to run the intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies to make sure you don't have pernicious anemia.

It takes as long as you've been deficient (B12 not getting to your tissues) to heal the peripheral nerves. Any fatigue should be better fairly quickly (1 - 4 weeks, depending upon how long you've been deficient).

You need B12 to make acetylcholine, so a deficiency will affect MG, too!

Some of your other symptoms sound a little like celiac disease or lupus. Has a dermatologist looked at the rash you're having? A rheumatologist? Does the sun bring the rash on or is it maybe food related?

So many of us have more than one autoimmune disease.

I don't see vitamin D on the list of tests. They should do that one, too!

I hope you will get the B12 and see what symptoms are better. It might not be the answer to everything, but you need it, and probably forever!!
