KEEP AT IT!
You've got a way to go, in case you've not gathered it.
The one good thing about 'methycobalamin' B-12 [sp?] is that it's like vitamin C in that you can't overdose. Excess goes out of you and doesn't hang around to cause problems.
Brian had posted a while ago, [humm, don't remember exactly when?] about getting a particular B-12 he wanted thru customs from the US - it was a lengthy post...Brian do you recall it? If not I'll look it up.
Don't forget tho, healing nerves takes about 10 to 50 times longer than it took for them to get damaged or die.
Hope this helps. - j

Hi Dahlek, yes there was trouble importing methylcobalamin into Australia a while ago, but you can get it through our customs these days, we can even buy it from our own compounding pharmacies now, but it is very expensive, it is much more cheaper to import it in from iherb.com.
I wouldn't have a clue about New Zealand customs though, or the availabity of it in New Zealand.

I got some from a Health 2000 shop: "Cherry Flavored Sublingual" 1MG - 60 Tablets $19.95 www.sourcenaturals.com

you went thru could flag any possible problems for Numbfoot in advance.
Face it man! You 'invented' that wheel? Having others learn and benefit and get an IDEA of the pitfalls and pratfalls that mite be encountered [I remember you had more than one?] are learning experiences to be shared.
Something folks living in the U.S. don't trip over and take for grannted.
The fact that you'd learned what the 'hoops' were, and what the questions were to ask are things that are read by many who don't regularly post, just visit and learn. And they learn a lot!
While each country or part of the world is different, some of the basics usually apply?
Ah....we slog on or whatever. Hugs to all! - j

Numbfoot? You will just LOOOVEE the imitation cherry flavor! That is the one aspect I hate about the sub-linguals! Cherry, orange, rasberry, whatever... Try it, see if your #'s go up, bet they will. -j

2000mcg-5000mcg sublingual, methylcobalamin-daily.
(no one ever overdosed on B12 , excess is
excreted in urine, like Vit. C)
Should get those B12 #'s up in 30-60 days.

Dahlek, you can certainly learn a lot from other people sharing their knowledge & experiences, without gaining knowledge off Rose, Mrs D, Glentaj, David and many others, i am sure i would be still suffering with neuropathy now & not forgetting Bob B who pointed me in the right direction as far as getting a neuro that is a neuropathy expert, not just a normal neuro, all contributed to my wellness i am lucky enough to be able to enjoy these days.
I hope you are going along ok these days.

Have just started a new part time job which requires me to be on my feet more often. I normally wear open sandals which I find more comfortable but for safety I now have to wear a enclosed shoe. My right foot feels hot & like it is in greasy sand most of the time.
Any ideas on how I could deal with this.
My previous job was driving, so sandals were ok. Main problem there was not being able to feel the accelerator properly.

Just reviving this thread.
I'm still alive & kicking
Since November my Neuropathy is slowly progressing to upper thighs, lower back & palms of hands. My right foot is still the worst area. I have no pain, although occationally right foot can get cramp like pain, usually in bed at night.
I am still taking the B12 but have cut down to 1MG per day, having got my level above 500.
I am worried about loosing strength in the right ancle & so are keeping up with the cycling as often as possible. Like everything that you have to do, it is becoming a chore & I find myself having to force myself to do it. I tell myself that I am still so much better off than others who can't get around at all.

I don't remember if I read about deformation in your feet? high arches?

Did you had LP? wha were the findings?

No deformation anyware.
Other than PN I am in perfect shape for my age.
What is LP?
