Default What should I be doing?

Recently Diagnosed with a B12 defficiency. My doctor has a policy, no more that 2 symptoms at a time. This makes it extremely difficult when 1 problem could be causing all of my symptoms. I've now been taking the B supplement for 3 weeks and I haven't really noticed a change. In fact, some symptoms are worse some days.

I experience pain in my neck. Sometimes I experience a numbing sensation between my shoulder blades and when I pull my shoulders down and my neck back I hear fluid popping and such. When I'm at a computer lets say, every 10 minutes or so I have to pop it out or it will start to get umcomfortable and go numb. Also, my neck is getting a curve to it, what is up with that? I deal with some form of pain in my spine daily. I try to make it a habit to try to pop my back as much as I can each night.

Other symptoms:

Vertigo
Vision problems (blurred and lovely black dot in my right eye appears once in awhile)
Headaches (most headaches seem to have been reduced by eliminating sugar, however I get kind of a stress headache that feels like its up the back of my head)
Ringing in the ears
Neck pain
Tingling in my arms/hands (I can have both arms resting on an arm of a chair and one will just decide to go to sleep?!?!?! what is goin on?)
Fatigue
Numbness across my upper back
Joints pop out (seems at night my wrists and shoulders pull out of joint a bit and are sore during the day)
Brain fog (I'll literally lose what I'm saying mid sentence cause I can't think of the word, could be a word as simple as dog)

Guess I'd like to know a little more so I can explain to the doctor the right symptoms to get this taken care of. Maybe this is all due to the B12 def and I haven't left enought time for my body to heal? What other things could this be that I can investigate?

Thanks

Nathan
