To further complicate things I just heard this am that sun exposure helps lower blood pressure because it causes our bodies to create NO.

Over the last two weeks and while taking Jarrow's Methyl B-12 at a dose of 15,000 mcg per day, I have reduced my daily intake of LD/CD from 2200 - 2400 mg with problematic performance to approx 1800 daily with no off periods other than the initial first of the morning butt-dragging episode. Very impressed.

Somewhat due to reading the various postings in MrsD's threads and, in part, due to the fact that it was water soluble. Very much seat of the pants but it seemed that the risk was worth it and I did not want to fall short of some threshold without ever knowing that I had done so. -Rick

I don't have PD, but PN or RSD in ankle. I have been on B12 injections for over a year now. There is improvement. I was low, and listened to Mrs.D about getting it checked out. Thanks for your post. ginnie

Rick what you have done is similar to how doctors treat b12 deficiency, with what they call loading doses. Lots initally to get you going then back down. If a person has a long standing deficiency this doesn't work so well. My guess is that as PwP we are well on the road to understanding how to manage medications, and given half a chance I would self medicate with B12, but am needle-phobic, and don't have the right cells to absorb it. Sub0linguals are maybe a way forward.
Always interested in anyone dealing with this and PD, its is a double whammy. |
