There are other connections between B12 and vitamin D as well. Researchers still are puzzled about the fact that people with MS tend to be lower in B12 and vitamin D. Some even think the deficiencies may contribute somehow to MS. (In addition to the the fact that long-untreated B12 deficiency can cause similar damage). All the various connections are not understood.
As some people cannot absorb B12 well or at all (unless in shots or very large oral doses), some people can't convert sunlight well to D. And vitamin D deficiency has in recent years been found to be common. I strongly suggest that people read up on D. And, of course, if anyone has not yet read my website (not a lot, but very important) on B12, please do. rose

Jon,
You may be dealing with peripheral neuropathy symptoms due to some central nervous system damage. In that case, your body may work on repairs for many more months or even years. And if you want to maximize your B12 situation, you may want to take oral methylcobalamin----at the very least 1000 mcg. I would take 5000 mcg. Some people benefit from even more. Also, there are other things you may read about here to help your body with its work. rose

Rose;
My Neuro has advised the peripheral neuropathy is caused by b-12 being low for so long - and it will take time for the nerves to heal (if ever); however, I was diagnosed with a movement disorder about six months before the b-12 deficiency; the disorder is called Essential Tremor (think Katherine Hepburn) and is a neurological disease. Ironically, my Neuro - who is a top Southeastern research Neurologist at Emory University department of Neurology will not yet rule out MS...apparently, even though he's been monitoring me for over a year now....JF |

Yes, it sounds like you are dealing with Combined Degeneration, what happens to the central nervous system when B12 deficiency goes untreated too long.
I do hope you will take methylcobalamin to maximize your chances for optimal recovery. rose
