Welcome RN4

I agree, Rose has been making the points concerning your condition for a long time! You will find a great deal of information and support here.

Who is Rose?

You can find her at this part of the boards:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49
Within that forum and throughout our forums you will find her posts and read her own developing web site....
She too has been a sufferer of B-12 deficiency and is one good, kind, responsive person in regards to issues not only of B-12 but other vitamin, mineral and asorbtion issues.

I can only encourage you to read her posts here, and those of others as well. We all come to the B-12 issue and others with varying viewpoints.

In reading prior posts tho, you might find that your own questions have been asked before. Usually answers lead to more questions. Rose has been kind and unstinting in her generosity to many here who have questions, then new questions after that.

I guess I've got to ask about your 'symptoms'? Does that mean neuropathy? We have a board for that too at:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20
Just click on the blue 'sites' and you will get there.. If the B-12 is causing other problems, well we've resources on that as well.

Really, there aren't any quick fixes, if there were, we wouldn't be here? But there are lots of things one can do and try and be to help things along...
I sure hope I see you somewhere here soon! - j

Hi Dahlek, thanks for the reply. I've been surfing the site and have found some posting from Rose. Thanks for the link. Yes, I believe I have ended up with some neuropathy, I have a long list of problems unfortunately:

• loss of appetite (I never thought I would complain about this!)
• extreme and overwhelming fatigue
• horrible left arm pain, with marked weakness
• when extremely tired, the other extremeties also begin having the same pain
• Weakness
• Cognitive 'fogginess'
• Loss of memory
• Tinitus or ringing in the ears w/documented hearing loss
• Tingling in the hands and feet
• Flu-like achiness
• Loss of Coordination/Dizziness
• Depression .....go figure!
