Hi Electrocuted, might be time to see a pain doctor or management, they seem to have a lot more consideration & experiences for people like yourself than a normal doc or Neuro.
good luck
Brian :)

Hi & welcome to the forum, i am really sorry to read that your in so much pain but its best in many ways to start a new thread of your own, a lot more of the members will see your post & try to help you.
Can you get your doc to refer you to pain management, those doctors specialize in patients with extreme pain like yours ?
If your not sure how to start a new post, on the front page, just click on new thread and write your title, then explain down below that, your title will come up on the main board for everyone to see.
PS - i sent you a private message
all the best
Brian :)

Hi, Rose
My b12 was 536 reference range200-1100 and mma was 242 ref. range 88-243. then after drawing for this test they gave me a shop of b12 don't know how much. then 7 days later retested and retic count 0.9 ref.range 0.5-1.5

rose 05-08-2007 11:17 AM

Good for them, checking MMA and giving you a shot! You very well may need the B12. MMA doesn't always go up, but it usually does, and yours appears to have been doing that.

I hope you keep up the B12.

Hi, Rose
I didn't mention that the dr said after the test that my b12 was fine so i haven't been taking it, but maybe i should get on the b12 how much?????? thanks.

rose 05-08-2007 06:32 PM

At least 1000 mcg, which is 1 mg.

acksnow, you need to take a multi -B as well as the B12 [not at the same time though] best to take the B12 on a empty stomache, the multi- b helps the b12 work better, with the multi-B you normaly get what you pay for like most other things, someone here may be able to recommend a good one.
Sometimes people notice a differance just about straight away, but others not so, it can take months to years.
all the best
Brian :)

aksnow 05-09-2007 10:52 PM

thanks Brian,
i will try to find a good multi-b
