Default have neurologists heard of B12 deficiency?
Hello, just happened to find this terrific spot. I couldn't resist telling those of you dealing with b12 issues the following: I have been to four specialists and was days away from major surgery when someone finally said, "oh yes, why don't we check your B12 level" ... after numerous mri's, brain scans, xrays.... On a scale of 211 to 989, my B12 reading was 67. (Is that some kind of world record??? 67!!!!! OMG. I then was given ONE shot 1000 cmg and sent on my way with no follow up instructions. Needless to say I am going to the fifth doctor TODAY. wish me luck and blessings to all of you facing your personal challenges. pearl girl

Hi Pearl girl,

Welcome to NT. Wow your B12 was low. And yep docs are not always up on these things. Anyway we have some really great smart folks here that know alot about B12. Please read or post over in our PN forum or our Vitamin forum. Here are the links

IN terms of the B12 keep on top of it. Many of us ere take 1000mcg or more of methyl b12 a day.

GET THE TEST, PLEASE. YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND YOURSELF DEPLETED AS I WAS; BARELY ABLE TO WALK. SMILES AND BLESSINGS TO YOU. pearl
