In that month of higher doses of b12, I accomplished a year's worth of worth. I had barely been able to move for quite sometime.

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, this is FASCINATING. Thank you so much for sharing. Did your specialists ever tell you straight out that your neck pain was probably caused by a lack of B12? Do you know if your pain comes right back if you stop taking the B12? And lastly, did you ever try another form of B12 to see if you were just sensitive to the methyl-b?
