Yes, you are right on about that. Many do fall through the cracks and continue suffering.

If you decide to do under the tongue you need to do that on an empty stomach. The B12 (methylcobalamin) is dissolved in the saliva and absorbed orally. All oral B12 should be done on an empty stomach. (nothing much is absorbed sublingually).

Looks like I may have to use the injectable B12 but will try holding the oral one under my tongue to see if this works. It sure is scary when the symptoms come back. I really freak out.
My GP still denies it is B12 but I have seen two other GP's in clinics for injections that are more understanding. Out of six medical people in the last six months two understand PN and B12. There must be a lot of people misdiagnosed and suffering terribly.

I did try the oral for a month without food for an hour but I just swallowed it so don't know if sublingual absorption will help. i will try sublingual but will inject every two or three weeks as well.
Thanks for your support.*

I believe there are studies out there that show sublingual is as effective (if not more) as injected B12 is. B12 is fortunately a very inexpensive supplement as well.

Take it first thing in the morning when you get up then have breakfast an hour later and it will be most effective. If you take it at night it may keep you awake.

it is kind of odd that your original gp still disputes it, since your new one says you have a deficiency, and a test proves it. Furthermore, you had relief of symptoms when you had b12 treatment. you should continue with b12 supplements.
