All,

Do keep notes. And do so for the long haul. When nerves are damaged, the repair process can take a very long time. If you expect the process to be like getting over an ordinary injury (better every day or week), you will likely be more frightened and confused than necessary.

And if the central nervous system has been affected (brain, spinal cord, or eyes), whatever damage can be repaired will likely be repaired over a period of years.

Be prepared for fluctuations in symptoms, often especially wild and weird prior to vast improvement.

For me, I had significant improvement in all of my symptoms related to low B12 right away and consistently.

When I look back over my Time Line I see that stress always lowered my B12 levels, as shown in tests, though I don't think I put my test results on my site... and in an increase in low B12 symptoms.

I found after my holistic M.D. gave me a prescription for a shot a day for a year, that I had really REALLY HUGE improvement. I got rid of peripheral neuropathy that I had thought was there for the rest of my life.

I can now sleep without an air mattress, just as one example.

So for me, I wish that I'd had a lot more B12 a lot earlier...

I feel that if I had, then I wouldn't have had such numb toes that I didn't feel the broken bit of darning needle that eventually gave me tetanus...

etc.

I just think that more B12 is a way to address serious B12 issues that are of long standing.

Even now, it is helping with the damage I had from living in the hydrogen sulfide in my condo... I just looked again at that time line, and the problems I was having were severe...

So for me, waiting paitently for improvement over many years was a mistake.

But how I would have found the holistic doctor who gave me the generous prescription earlier, that I don't know.
