New to BT

[Nanna B]

Hi, I am new to BT. I appreciate the information and insight this forum has to offer. Fibromyalgia and MS - like symptoms are what brought me here. I had my first dr. appt today, so we will see what comes of that.

Thanks

A B12 deficiency can mimic these type illnesses...I know by personal experience....After numerous neuro docs disinterested, misinformed and down right incompetant I did a lot of suffering and I nearly lost my life.
But I found BT and read about B12 deficiencies and how they can mimic terrible diseases. I worry how many people have died because of this, all needlessly suffering because doctors are mininformed.
The medical journals have informed them of new findings, but they often don't read them and patients go untreated or passed off as hypochondriacs.

Once I started taking the B12, sublingualy, my body began to repair itself and my symptoms began abating. Within 10 days I felt a tremendous turn around and was able to get out of bed after nearly half a year of completly bedridden.

My Peripheral Neuropathy is now only a bad memory with only a very slight burning on the bottoms of my feet.
I certainly can live with this as the alternative was too miserable.

Its been over 2 years now and still have bouts of "set backs" when my body is making repairs. Such as my bouts of dizzyness. Even tho I'm taking the B12 regualary....my loss of balance can hit me like a ton of bricks...I can hardly walk and I'm having to hang onto things to keep from falling.
This last only a few days, sometimes just hours....then I'm back to normal.
Please read all what Rose has written in the Vitamin Deficiency forum.
You can find my story in that forum under the thread of "don't take B12 deficiency lightly".
You may find "yourself" in the long list of B12 deficiency symptoms.
Who knows....maybe you too will find some answers for what is going wrong with your health. Hopefully it will be as simple as this deficiency and soon be kicking up your heels! Hope so! I'm glad you found BT! Keep us posted.
Blessings, cheryl
