Hello everyone:

I am new to this community. My husband has a reading of B12 at 239. He has tingling and numbness in his feet and fingers of one hand. He is to go for a EMG study soon. He also has a quite a bit of pitting edema in his feet and ankles.

Does anyone else have the edema? He is on a fairly heavy dose of diuretics now and it doesn't seem to bring the puffyness down much.

The doctor has him on 1000 mg of B12 once a month and is also taking 1200 mcg of timed released B12 per day by mouth. I have read here now that it shouldn't be timed release. Can someone tell me why? Can he finish the rest of that bottle and then we will get B12 pills that are not timed release. Or should we throw them out? If he takes the rest of the timed release one will thet cause any more trouble?

Thank You
Nancy
