When was the last time you had a chest Xray?
There could be something going on there. Another member here had SOB and they finally found an infection by an uncommon bacteria in her lungs. Difficultly breathing can be also a sign of myasthenia gravis. So getting a doctor's evaluation is important. Some people have too many red blood cells...polycythemia vera. B12 in high doses is not recommended for them...but this is rare. So there are things you should check out with a doctor if you have SOB. B12 will fix things that need repair due to nerve damage, etc. But it cannot fix everything. Quote:

Along with the unexspected pain relief and ability to move better, I also immediately began coughing. In that month I also experienced extremely unusual side effects to the methyl-b. I saw specialists for each and was told this was thier assumption. My doseage was cut in half, then half, again. I was tested for a year to try to discover the cause other than the b12. I had to reduce my doseage to 250mcg per day, barely enough to keep me thinking straight. When I take more I experience the breathing problems, skipped heart beats and irrational rage. I try to keep as close to a small dose. So, you're not the only one experiencing adverse side effects, but you're one of very few, I'd suspect. Welcome to the herd, zebra friend. deb... |

I think that B-12 is most crucial and most beneficial to patients who have rsd. However, I found that taking B-12 in tablet form does not absorb as we would want it to. I stopped with the B-12 injections and started on the B-12 liquid concentrate. Easy to take, does not taste bad. Much better than tablets.... |

Could one cup of coffee, imbibed several hours after taking my b12 supplement, significantly inhibit my body's absorption of this vitamin?

I don't think so. It is the food fiber and volume that dilutes out the micrograms of B12 and reduces chances for passive absorption. (this happens with drugs too that are given in microgram doses--they are lost or adsorbed by food/fiber in the intestine.

I have tried to do a lot of reading here, but there's a LOT to cover. My apologies if this has been discussed before and I didn't see it.
My doctor tested my B12 as soon as I began experiencing pain in my feet 13 years ago. (I have PN). He kept telling me it was normal. However, in May 2013 I saw a specialist when I could not sleep (literally, did not sleep for days/weeks), got confused easily, lost my up-close hearing & had my distance hearing go massively hyper-sensitive, had difficulty breathing, my heart started hurting and I began falling down. He found my B12 to be 130 and ordered my doctor to immediately begin B12 injections. I got weekly 1000mcg (I believe) injections for 2 months, then bi-weekly for 2 months, and I now get them monthly. It took 9 months for my hearing to come back. I am sleeping better but still have issues. My last blood test was 325-ish. My doctor says this is in the normal range, but I don't think so. My specialist said he thinks my PN could easily be from prolonged B12 deficiency. I am 38, and have totally normal stomach acid levels. I take an oral B12 but my doc says I am unable to absorb it. I only feel better for a few days after each injection. What SHOULD my minimum level be? Should I be striving to get it up to 600? 700? |

My last B-12 level was 2000 and I'm doing JUST FINE. Doctors do NOT know anything about B-12 levels. Read all of Mrs. D. posts on B-12. I take Puritan Pride's Methyl B-12 (that's the important kind of B-12 you should be on). I take 5000 EVERY morning. Been doing this for YEARS now. No more peripheral neuropathy and I can do things at 66 that I didn't do when I was 30. Of course I grow my own food and don't smoke and all that stuff but I know that the Methyl B-12 that I have been taking for almost 7 years has literally changed my life. Read up on this. It's all over the internet and especially on this thread. Best of luck to you. Melody
