Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Today is a very good day for you!

We have a B12 thread here with lots of information, but people just won't read it.

So today Jason, one of our posters here, found this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvEiz...ature=youtu.be

After you watch this, then go to my thread which goes into more detail about methylcobalamin (which is mentioned very briefly on the video) for dosing and how to take it (empty stomach only). My thread also explains MTHFR DNA mutations which lead to poor if any methylation of B12 to its active methylB12 form and the video did not go into that either.

Rather than start with a shot gun approach of taking a huge list of things (some of them may not work for you, like the SAMe, etc). If you start with the most likely and work up... you will save money and understand your particular PN better.

Can you give us more details about your lifestyle, what RX drugs you took (antibiotics) or take now...like statins for cholesterol... which can CAUSE nerve damage. Solvents, hobbies, traumas, surgeries, vaccines, etc. All are possible triggers. Diabetic PN would lead to supplements specific for that.

But the most common is low B12, and that should be addressed first, as it might fix things easily. When you get the test get a Vit D also. Get the numbers and don't accept "normal" as the ranges are outdated, and you could be labeled normal when you are in fact low. In US you should be at least 400pg/ml, for B12.
